In a recent government meeting, commissioners addressed several key issues, including the approval of upcoming meetings and community relief efforts following Hurricane Helene.
The meeting began with a vote on a motion that passed narrowly, 4 to 3, which will now be forwarded to the county commissioner for further action on November 7. Following this, the commissioners unanimously approved the schedule for Planning and Development Commission (PDC) meetings for 2025, indicating a commitment to ongoing development discussions.
Commissioner Worthington highlighted the importance of community support in the wake of Hurricane Helene, urging fellow commissioners and residents to assist with relief efforts at the Civic Club in Homosassa, which serves as a central hub for donations. He noted that the United Way has been instrumental in coordinating these efforts, and free ice has recently been made available to those in need.
Commissioners expressed gratitude for the work of first responders and volunteers, emphasizing the need for continued community involvement. They encouraged residents, especially those who were fortunate enough to avoid damage, to volunteer their time to help those affected by the hurricane.
The meeting concluded with a reminder for residents to stay updated through the county's website and social media for further information on volunteer opportunities and relief efforts.
