Finally! Panhandle Developers

...have to play by the rules.

The Panhandle for the first time will get a state environmental resource permitting program, similar to those in other parts of Florida, under one of the five bills signed Thursday.

"Including the Panhandle in the statewide program will preserve more wetlands, improve stormwater management and flood control and better protect some of the most pristine rivers, estuaries and streams in Florida," Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Colleen Castille said after the bill was passed last month.
