Other Investigations
Investigations that don't fit a single storyline thread — but matter just as much.
Town Center: The Case
Every outlet covered the $17 million settlement. We went and got all 72 documents from the case file itself.
Cascades: It's Back and It's Very Different
Same 331 acres. Third rezoning attempt since 2023. This time it's not about how many homes get built — it's about what kind, and who might end up owning them.
The Strange Case of the Third Meeting

The Justice Department told the FCC to stand down on Google’s Sol cable license — for national security reasons. Five days later, Palm Coast issued a building permit. The building is under construction. No license has been granted.
Palm Coast Still Publishes DC Blox at 100,000 Square Feet
In June, the city called 100,000 square feet inaccurate. The document that says it is still posted on the city’s own server. And the bigger question — who got to decide any of this — was never put to the people we elect.
We got screwed with the American Village, but it wasn't these guys that did it
An apartment complex is going up in the middle of a Palm Coast single-family neighborhood. The neighbors are furious. They’re also aiming at the wrong people.
Water Can't Stop a Rezoning. Here's What Can.
Property rights in Florida are enforceable law, and the LDC is the rulebook a judge holds the city to. Why water can never block a rezoning, where it can legally be weighed, and how to appeal.
