Leesburg Seeks Redistricting Edge in County Boards
Leesburg fights for double representation on the County Commission and Board of Public Instruction, arguing population leading to two seats. A special meeting delayed action on redistricting until a precinct population survey from the 1950 census shows Leesburg’s growth lagging others. Mount Dora, Eustis, Clermont, Groveland, and Umatilla districts show larger gains. The plan could reshuffle districts affecting Mount Dora and South Lake areas, with potential resignations and new elections if South Lake is lumped together.
