“The Everglades Foundation is thankful that the Urban Development Boundary, which protects America’s Everglades, was preserved this legislative session. Thank you to Senators Ileana Garcia, Alexis Calatayud, and Ana Maria Rodriguez for working to defend the UDB and prevent weakening it. The boundary is not only important to safeguard our one-of-a-kind Everglades but also protect Miami-Dade’s economy, Floridians’ water supply and our state’s resilience.”
