TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A failed fish farm in Woodville that has sat empty for nearly four years has been demolished. <\/p>\n
Leon County Commissioner Christian Caban announced the demolition on Facebook, saying this is \u201ca major step forward and a long overdue win for our Woodville neighbors.\u201d <\/p>\n
The property, which sits outside the J. Lewis Hall Sr. Woodville Park and Recreation Complex, had been dormant since 2022, however, local government had no right to get involved.<\/p>\n
The Florida\u2019s Right to Farm Act keeps local government from having the ability to step in an manage these kinds of projects, Caban explained in a 2025 interview. <\/a><\/p>\n But, the state agricultural certification that limited the County expired last year and was not renewed, according to Caban. <\/p>\n A demolition permit was issued last week and now the site is in the cleanup phase. <\/p>\n Caban said a Code Compliance Inspector will verify full compliance once the lot is cleared before the case can formally close.<\/p>\n To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Nextdoor<\/a> <\/a>and X<\/a> (Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n Have a news tip or see an error?
