Too many people use these fields for biking Soccer and to let the dogs play and run I think it would be a shame for the county to get rid of these parcels of land

Please keep the celery fields!! So many people enjoy this place that has become a park and bird sanctuary. One of the things that help make sarasota beautiful!

Please do not build a recyclable concrete/construction factory. The dust particles will be harmful to the children that attend Tatum Ridge Elementary School with asthma and the birds that have migrated to the area.

Who in their right mind would want a waste dump in the Celery Fields?

Save the Celery Fields in Sarasota, Fl. It is a beautiful place for the Wildlife. Pollution from waste & Traffic would ruin the area.

Please protect the value of natural lands around our property, the value of wildlife, and the value of living in Sarasota that has a unique chance to save a unique area of wetlands. The celery fields are an important part of our natural habitat in Sarasota that need to be protected from industry. As a long-term 43 year resident I beg you please don't allow ruin to this land. Sincerely!

Do you have to destroy every last beautiful refuge for our regional wildlife??? This is a local treasure for people and birds. Please do not allow the recycling plant to ruin this habitat. Enough is enough!

This is truly not the right place for this project..land is getting scarce.The countyare only thinking with their pockets and not in the best interest of the people.II'm in construction industry here and they have nothing to boost us up but red tape and months holding permits

Do not allow this. This would be exposing children at Tatum Ridge Elementary school and home owners to caustic and contaminated air & water. This is not surplus land, it was originally attached to the Celery Fields, we should retain the original plan. This whole situation seems quite underhanded. The City/County owes it to the people of Sarasota to try to keep the environment as safe as possible. Save these people, children & the Celery Fields!!!

Do not allow an industrial recycling plant to be built next to the bird sanctuary at the Celery Fields.

I do not want a 16-acre, industrial recycling plant built next to the bird sanctuary at the Celery Fields!

This is a place for wildlife. A lot of money went into making the surrounding area peaceful. We keep pushing natural land back further, it needs to stop. I don't want the noise or traffic.

The facility would make a terrible impact on the Celery Fields birds, wildlife and water. Please do not allow the zoning exception. Keep the Celery Fields as they are.

Think of the future. That park brings people outside. Families, school children, walkers and nature lovers. Shame on us for even considering this.

I am hoping to move to the Sarasota area soon and the Celery Fields are an important part of my attraction to the area. An industrial recycling plant nearby would ruin this quiet unpolluted area and also affect property values. It does not seem like a wise decision for the county. Please do not allow the zoning exception.

This is something Trump would do. Save our environment instead.
