Good afternoon, neighbors!

The word is out: the County Commissioners are officially aware of our petition. Now is the time to turn up the volume. We are pushing to hit 1,500+ signatures this week to show a united front for Merritt Island.

If you cannot attend the upcoming meeting or don't plan to speak, your email is your voice. Please take two minutes to send a message to the commissioners. You can copy and paste the list below:

Who to Email:

• D1.Commissioner@brevardfl.gov

• D2.Commissioner@brevardfl.gov

• D3.Commissioner@brevardfl.gov

• D4.Commissioner@brevardfl.gov

• D5.Commissioner@brevardfl.gov

The Facts Matter:

When writing your email, feel free to use these critical talking points from the official records:

• Public Safety: The Staff Report (p. 10) explicitly warns that this project creates a "Material Danger to Public Safety."

• Infrastructure: Our roads are already at 88% capacity. This project exceeds the "25% of remaining capacity" rule.

• Incompatibility: The report admits 222 units is "not consistent" with our surrounding single-family neighborhoods.

• Local Opposition: The local advisory boards (MIRA/P&Z) could not find a majority to support this. As our representatives, we ask that you do not override the local experts and residents.

Let’s advocate for smart growth and keep Merritt Island safe. Please share the petition link with your friends and family and help us spread the word
