Barbara Gaines, Groveland City Councilwoman, District 3

03/24/2025

On, Wednesday, March 12, 2025, a group of Groveland citizen advocates, city staff and council members attended a very successful Legislative Day in Tallahassee.

We met with senators, representatives and their staff to discuss crucial issues relative to Groveland including SR 19, Wilson Island Project, Agriculture, Education and Healthcare.

There were many resource takeaways and now it
is time to put pen to paper and strategically follow through on the information that we received!
