Due to significant grassroots efforts and pushback, the Lee County Board of Supervisors rescinded a county power-grab, housing ordinance.

The Board was pushing for an increase of minimum mobile home lot size from 1/2 acre to 2 acres. No three-tab, shingles, only architectural shingles allowed. No well water connections allowed. Excessively harsh penalties for violations including up to $1,000 fine and/or imprisonment up to 30 days "each day that a violation continues" (emphasis added). All this and more.

Grassroots efforts made all the difference in the Supervisors' unanimous reversal.
