Leesburg Housing Project Sparks Drainage Fears | Orlando News

A housing development proposal near Leesburg, Florida, is sparking fierce local opposition—23 new homes on 10 acres right beside County Road 44 could worsen existing drainage and traffic issues. Residents in Silver Lake already battle flooding and debris during rain, fearing more homes will amplify runoff. Though the planning committee previously rejected the project, the developer plans a community meeting this Friday to address concerns. City leaders will make a final decision Monday—watch as development clashes with neighborhood safety and long-standing promises.
