ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – New projects are popping up left and right across Orange County, prompting some residents to express concern about the long-term impacts of those developments when it comes to keeping in line with the area’s sustainability goals.

The planning process can be difficult to navigate and most people don’t know a major project is in the works until construction has already begun.
