Lizard-Saving Plan Greenlights Florida Home Boom

Summary

CBD Land Investors wants permission to build homes in Polk County, Florida, even though it might affect two rare lizards—the sand skink and blue-tailed mole skink. They’ve proposed a plan to protect these little guys while building, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is asking the public to share their thoughts. This is an important step before any construction starts, and no big costs or delays are expected yet.
