Board Moves Fast to Preserve Dora Canal Right-of-Way
Rep Carl Duncan and the board attorney push to acquire 220 feet of canal shoreward right of way on each side for Lake County park use. The county already holds about 1 500 feet of rights of way granted by Wilson Cypress in exchange for cutting rights. A new inlet being dug on the canal's western side near Lake Eustis threatens the waterway as a site for storing drag-line equipment.
