Horse Farms Forever to Speak at Zoning and Planning Meeting…and how you can, too
Today’s Zoning and Planning meeting at 5:30pm is the first of two public hearings where the community can voice their concerns about the Golden Ocala-World Equestrian development plans. Horse Farms Forever’s Director of Conservation Strategies, Busy Shires Byerly, will be speaking on behalf of our members. Here is a transcript of her remarks:
Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Stands with Horse Farms Forever
We thank the FTBOA for publicly expressing their support for our mission to protect the Farmland Preservation Area from the latest development threat.
World Equestrian Center Plan Threatens Farmland Preservation Area
Horse Farms Forever Urges Golden Ocala-World Equestrian Center To Reconsider Land Use Amendments in the Farmland Preservation Area. Unfortunately, Golden Ocala/World Equestrian Center (GO-WEC) has requested two land use amendments to change the Comprehensive Plan that threaten the integrity of the Farmland Preservation Area (FPA), which is core to our mission.
Always Watching
We work hard to keep you informed, and to represent our members' interests in preserving our horse farms, farmland and the unique character and culture of Marion County's 193,000 acre Farmland Preservation Area.
Join the herd. Every voice matters.
