Statement of Support

River of Grass Coalition
River of Grass Coalition Initiative
Statement of Support
Secure Land Now for Florida’s Economy and Water Supply!

As individual citizens, businesses, community leaders, civic organizations, municipalities and trade and professional organizations, we support the River of Grass Coalition Initiative to acquire the land needed to secure clean and abundant fresh water for human and environmental needs.  

The flow of abundant clean water through the Everglades is the key to South Florida's tourist, boating, fishing and agricultural industries. Hundreds of thousands of good-paying Florida jobs depend on these industries.  Florida must act to secure the land now, while it is available from a willing seller.

We support the public purchase of U.S. Sugar Corp. land to convey, store and treat water for the Everglades.  The absence of land to move, store and treat water has limited previous Everglades restoration efforts and water supply planning.   The flow of abundant clean water through the Everglades is the key to South Florida's economy.

Over the last 20, years, we taxpayers have committed billions of dollars to Everglades restoration projects.  Our investment will now be secured by Governor Crist’s initiative.  Public purchase of the land currently owned by U.S. Sugar Corp. is the best and most cost-effective option available to ensure Florida's water and economic security.
