Monroe County will host a separate in-person/hybrid community meeting on Monday, Sept. 21, at 5:30 p.m., at the Marathon Government Center to discuss additional community requests regarding protections for Big Pine Key and No Name Key. Zoom details for this meeting will also be available at www.monroecounty-fl.gov/calendar closer to the meeting date.

Unlike the Aug. 20 meeting, which is focused on the specific Chapter 122 text amendment, the Sept. 21 meeting will provide an opportunity for broader discussion of potential additional protections and community proposals affecting Big Pine Key and No Name Key.

The two meetings are intended to address the issues separately: the first will document the federal transition that has already occurred, and the second will provide a dedicated forum to consider additional community requests.
