Lowe's Crappy Big Box Store is Going to Appeal the UDB Decision. By Geniusofdespair

IT'S BACK!

Adam Rivera of Environment Florida said Lowe’s announced today that it would appeal a recent Miami-Dade County administrative ruling that upheld the integrity of the Miami-Dade Urban Development Boundary (UDB).

For over seven years, Lowe's has pushed to build a Superstore that would straddle the UDB and include more than 10 acres of wetlands bordering the Everglades that are officially designated as off-limits to development. Mind you, Lowe's have enough land WITHIN the UDB to build their damn store.

In May, a Miami-Dade administrative law judge found that County Commissioners inappropriately moved the UDB to accommodate the proposed Lowe’s Superstore. If you want to help our hardworking attorneys, send a check TODAY made out to the Everglades Law Center, Nova Southeastern University, 3305 College Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314. Put UDB on the subject line of your check, or, my favorite, Lowe's Sucks.

It wasn't much, but I put my check for $10.00 in the mail today. And, yes I put "Lowe's Sucks" on the face of the check. If I was in a position to send more, I would sign my name... but, alas, I shall remain anonymous.

Lowes has a history of building on wetlands... I guess they go after the land because it is cheaper to buy swampland and sue their way into building on it.

Does not go with their shiny faced image does it?
