Save the Celery Fields in Sarasota, FL

Can't believe this is even being considered. This is a beautiful, peaceful area. Please don't ruin it.

Let's keep this beautiful sanctuary for our beloved wildlife that inhabits our area and enriches our world We do not need a dump site in our residential neighborhood Let them build their recycling plant outside of town where we don't have to look at it Smell it or hear it

Ride my bicycle to this park frequently and am opposed to an industrial plant in the vicinity, bc of truck traffic and noise pollution. I *want* the silence, so I can hear the animals roar at the big cat rescue nearby.

Please find a better location for this. I run at the celery fields every day and would be heartbroken to see this because piece of preserved nature destroyed.

We love and enjoy this property tremendously! Tons of people out there each time we are. This is so vital to our community.

Our community needs the Celery Foelds to teach the value of natural habitat, where birds fly free of added pollution. How reckless and short sighted it is to even consider destroying the nature of this special spot. Over the 22 years here, development has marched forward trampling what is precious. Stop this irreversible threat.

Save the celery fields

Perfect location for a medical marijuana dispensary.... No to recycling ♻ plants!

Stupid stupid stupid

I object to having waste management ruin our corner of paradise.

Absolutely not acceptable!

To close to a nature purserve and and nice walking trail

I love to hike at Celery Fields. It's serene and to hear the roar of the big cats from the habitat is unique.

This would be a disgrace if the county allowed this to go thru. I mean an Industrial Recycling Plant right next to a Bird Sanctuary and wildlife sanctuary?? What sensible mind would allow this?

Dear County Commissioners, I am emailing to let you know I do NOT want a 14-acre, industrial recycling plant built next to the bird sanctuary at the Celery Fields! The county owns the land and I am asking you, the commissioners to DENY the zoning exception required to build this industrial facility in a gem of our community.

So sad that Sarasota can't finish one project but starts SEVERAL and they all sit imcomplete for years.

Please don't do this. The birds have already lost too much habitat due to building housing developments on every empty parcel of land.

I live in Deerfield and can't believe our county commissioners would allow this to be approved. The celery fields attract bird watchers from all over the world, this will not only bring traffic & pollution to this area, but the noise alone will ruin our peaceful living out here.
