John Fumero Featured on the Front Page of the Florida Specifier
Shareholder John Fumero’s article was featured on the front page of the March/April edition of Florida Specifier. The article highlights a recent federal court decision that has shaken up Florida’s State 404 permitting process. The ruling overturns the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s authority, putting a halt to their issuance of State 404 Permits. This decision stems from a legal challenge regarding environmental regulations, specifically concerning the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. With the authority now reverting to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, uncertainty looms over development projects involving wetlands across Florida. Fumero’s analysis underscores the complexity of environmental regulations and the need for clarity amidst this regulatory upheaval.
