The Alachua Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will address on Tuesday a natural resources code that will protect significant habitat, listed species habitat, strategic ecosystems and significant geologic features throughout Alachua County.

The regular meeting starts at 11:30 a.m. and the full agenda also includes an update from Alachua County Health Department Administrator Paul Myers and the appointment of members to the economic development advisory committee.

Seventy-one percent of Alachua County voters approved the countywide natural resources protection code, which will define the relationship between county and municipal ordinances for protection of certain natural resources.
