By Jim Ross| Ocala Star Banner Verified Marion County Commission unanimously rejected a rezoning request for a 73-home development on a former landfill. Residents voiced concerns about soil contamination and unsuitable building conditions on the 27-acre site.

By Jim Ross| Ocala Star Banner Verified Marion County government is planning to widen Southwest 38th Street from two lanes to four lanes between Southwest 80th Avenue to the west and Southwest 43rd Court to the east. But one part of the project — the stretch of road that is east of Southwest 60th Avenue and west of Southwest 46th Avenue — has become somewhat controversial. The county's preferred widening plan, drafted by a consultant, calls for taking 10 feet of land from the Timberwood subdivision boundary.
