�ro MEC <br />0 <br />Governor Ron DeSantis <br />State of Florida <br />The Capitol <br />400 S. Monroe St. <br />Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 <br />Dear Governor DeSantis, <br />October 26, 2021 <br />c� <br />On behalf of the Treasure Coast, we want to thank you for your continued investment in our region and the <br />state of Florida's most precious natural resources. Recently, you appropriated record funding for <br />wastewater projects that directly benefit the Indian River Lagoon to both Martin and Indian River County. <br />You stated it best during your announcement of these funds that "these projects will protect and restore the <br />lagoon for future generations." It is exciting to see the priorities of the state and local governments align as <br />we work together to ensure the improvement and preservation of one of the most biodiverse bodies of water <br />in the world. With the remaining funds allocated to fund the Wastewater Grant Program, we respectfully ask <br />". for your favorable consideration to fund each of our respective water quality projects. <br />We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with the state to complete these vital projects, and <br />together, we ask for your continued support for the Indian River Lagoon and Treasure Coast as we embark <br />upon a new legislative session and budget year. You are always welcome to our communities, and we <br />invite you to see the incredible environmental restoration and infrastructure improvements our collaboration <br />lends to the beautiful and unique Treasure Coast. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joseph E. Flescher, Chairman <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />Chris Dzadovsky, Chairman <br />St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners <br />Stacey Hetherington, Chair <br />Martin County Board of County Commissioners <br />
