Florida’s growth decisions shape more than the next subdivision. They determine where homes rise, how roads and schools keep pace, who pays for infrastructure and how much say residents have in their communities’ future.

Florida Growth & Local Control follows the laws, development proposals and court fights reshaping Northeast Florida and communities statewide. Starting with Florida’s agricultural enclave law and St. Johns County’s resistance, The 101 Report examines what developers seek, how governments respond and what those decisions mean for existing neighborhoods and future residents.
