When residents living in Charlotte County’s Peace River Shores and surrounding communities learned that nearly 140 acres in their area were being rezoned to allow for a 1,188-unit development, they joined forces to oppose it.

The group, No Tag Lakeside, is concerned overdevelopment in the open acreage north of Turbak Drive, south of Peace River Shores Boulevard, east of Cobalt Boulevard and west of Duncan Road/U.S. 17 will negatively impact wildlife and cause pollution.
