GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ On Tuesday, Collier County commissioners rejected a 350-foot communications tower near the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in Ochopee after receiving over 2,000 petition signatures and strong objections from Native American, environmental and local business groups—officials now plan to work with the federal government to find an alternative for the current tower site. This decision comes amid concerns over deforestation, wildlife impact and community health risks. ABC7

- ➤ Lee Health is filing a lawsuit to keep the Golisano Children's Health Center open in Naples at the corner of Pine Ridge Road and Livingston Road and to ensure that children in Lee and Collier counties continue to receive the care they need. The lease will end next Friday, April 4, if Miami-based Nicklaus Children's Hospital does not honor Lee Health's lease after its switch to a private nonprofit—this dispute could force families to travel outside Collier County for specialized treatment.
