"Florida's largest private landowner and developer, is transforming [a 40-mile stretch of unspoiled bays on Florida's Panhandle] region by embarking on a construction boom that would be the most extensive in Florida since Disney came to Orlando [and] will affect an area nearly the size of Delaware...the question is whether a future that substitutes people, roads and golf courses for acre upon acre of slash pine can create growth that does not strangle the natural character."
