With all the work on giving people a say and local governments control over future development, Governor Rick Scott wiped it all away with a flash of a pen.
Department of Community Affairs founder, John DeGrove just passed away. He was responsible for the 1985 Growth Management Act and the State Comprehensive Plan. All developers were required to meet certain standards of local governments and meet concurrency before any development was approved. DeGrove was also one of the advisers in developing the national and internationally acclaimed five water districts and was a founder of 1000 Friends of Florida.
Read about him in The Palm Beach Post.
