SUMMARY: EBSCO plans to develop a vacant lot northeast of Publix, near Highways 119 and 280, into a complex featuring over 1,200 residential units, a hotel, and various shops. However, more than 1,200 local residents, led by Ashleigh Lavelle, have signed a petition opposing the project, fearing it will diminish their quality of life. The land is currently zoned for commercial use, a status intended to benefit the community, but EBSCO seeks to change it to residential. Community members express concerns about increased traffic and density. The zoning commission is set to vote on the plan, with potential council review afterwards.
