CALL TO ACTION Peaceful Protest Rally - Please COME in support #HandsOffLoriWilson Public Park for Public Use ONLY. Seriously, need lots of people there - to send a strong message. Expecting Driftwood commission meeting Nov 12 - their last meeting before terming out. Time and Date: Tuesday, Oct 29th, 2024: Arrive 3:45 to 4 pm: Rally before and after Driftwood meeting at Driftwood Hilton until dusk. If you cannot come, please call Representative Tyler Sirois at 321-449-5111, with the message, please keep our Lori Wilson park for Public Use. Location: Lori Wilson North Park - rally on Sidewalk along A1A, 1500 N Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 I have ordered 50 yards signs from @JetPressCocoaBeach for the Rally- or you can make your own sign too. First Come First Serve (with stakes for your yard after) - I'll be there at 3:30 pm to setup. Donations $10 welcome towards cost of sign/stake. Meeting to follow 5pm (if you can attend) to say no to Driftwood Hilton Hotel (which is just north of Lori Wilson); Driftwood wants to present their use of the park to residents. Driftwood Hilton (north) and Westin (south) want to use Lori Wilson as an extension of their amenities with golf cart road connecting their resorts to the park - which will use parking. Driftwood wants EXCLUSIVE USE of Lori Wilson South 100 days on weekends that you will NOT be able to surf or kiteboard or your family use of park. Driftwood already got $30 million from the Tourism Bed Tax that we were not happy about! https://spacecoastdaily.com/2022/06/your-view-proposed-driftwood-capital-taxpayer-giveaway-is-deja-vu-all-over-again/ Driftwood will push out your Public Use from locals and visitors alike with golf carts going between two Driftwood hotels and parking and their exclusive use 100 days - this is Brevard's premier park for locals and tourism not their amenities. #PublicUseOnly per the state and federal grant agreements that purchased these lands. Lori Wilson was funded with state and federal grants which REQUIRES Public Use in perpetuity and Conservation. Don't be Fooled about Driftwood selling making it "beautiful" - that's Tourism Bed Tax's responsibility who should be maintaining park from Capital Fund. 15 year renewal to 45 years 2024 Agreement: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CLgFt4QBzmDVhoYjcx8OnlfkBy_txFRV/view?usp=drive_link Open ended agreement that is bad for Brevard and #WeThePeople residents because allows they to keep adding Driftwood amenities for hotel including restaurant.. #Griftwood has been trying to get hold of Lori Wilson in 2017 and that plan is on this group - 2020 Plan of what they want includes restaurant, concert band stand, and Driftwood's parking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sjcv67_QWUIiwaxEisjss6aLnhb_onb0/view?usp=drive_link More documents if you are interested: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LJ3fGTjqqEhJoDm5xncD8l0ZVOtmk7l5?usp=drive_link If you are on Facebook @WAVESaction group
