Protect Shingle Creek

Developers Propose Killing 262 Acres!

Stop the Proposed Tuscana Planned Development & Stay Connected in the Save Shingle Creek Movement!



In January 2022, developers submitted an invasive and destructive application for a large development called the Tuscana Planned Development. 

There has been only one community meeting which brought in voices from all over the sate, begging for Orange County to deny this terrible plan to build hundreds of acres of commercial buildings and condos in the head waters of the Everglades.

A large commercial development called Tuscana Planned Development is pursuing an application to place high density commercial buildings and condos in the heart of the Shingle Creek Wetlands.

This area is not only extremely biodiverse, it is also the headwaters to the Everglades.

This area is a mitigation area for excessive emergency flooding in the surrounding neighborhoods within its basin and is an essential carbon sink and aquifer purification area for water purification.
