Thieves steal costly plywood from homes under construction in Winter Haven
Ken Suarez reports
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - Police are investigating after thousands of dollars in plywood were stolen from a Winter Haven construction site.
Detectives say the thief, or thieves, targeted two side-by-side homes under construction on Lake Smart Circle around 2 a.m. on June 9. They probably did not realize there was a camera, Winter Haven Police spokesperson Jamie Brown told FOX 13.
Surveillance video shows a silver or gray Chevy Caravan leaving the subdivision. Investigators believe the culprit or culprits came back several times to get more wood because a vehicle the size of a Caravan could not have carried the amount of plywood that was stolen.
Impact fees help pay for infrastructure needs created by new development
Florida s population has grown from 18.8 million to 21.5 million over the past 10 years
DAYTONA BEACH As Florida s roads become increasingly clogged amid the unrelenting stream of newcomers, state lawmakers have passed a bill that limits how much counties and cities can raise impact fees to accommodate that growth.
The bill, which Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign into law, caps impact fee increases to no more than 12.5% in a given year and no more than 50% over a four-year period. I m disappointed and even a little bit surprised, said Volusia County Chair Jeff Brower. He described the recently passed bill, HB 337, as an unnecessary effort by state lawmakers to take away the decision-making ability of local governments.
