Update Regarding Debris:
We are aware that there are roads that the FL DOT contractor has not gone down. As long as it is a county maintained road they will go down those roads. DOT asked us to have everyone put their debris on the Right of Way no later than Nov. 23. We are still working on solutions for private roads. We have not exhausted all measures yet.
