What Will Be Sent:

Dear Representative,

A vote is coming up in the House on a straightforward policy to support the reuse of formerly mined phosphate lands. It’s the right move—and we urge you to vote yes.

Florida’s future prosperity depends on land that is available, affordable, and ready for responsible use. Yet, more than 100,000 acres of land previously used for phosphate mining remain off-limits—not due to environmental unsuitability, but because of outdated liability policies that create legal uncertainty.

These lands hold tremendous potential for Florida. With the right legal clarity and transparency, they can be repurposed to:

  • Support new jobs and economic development, especially in rural communities,
  • Provide land for affordable housing to meet growing demand,
  • Contribute to conservation efforts and smart land management.

Florida can protect the public interest while unlocking land that red tape has rendered off limits. Responsible reuse of phosphate lands—with full public transparency of their former use—can deliver real benefits for our communities without compromising environmental or health standards.

We urge you to support amendment language that brings these lands back into productive use. By doing so, Florida can create opportunity, boost rural economies, and make smart use of land that’s already been disturbed.

Thank you for your continued leadership on issues that matter to Florida families and communities.
