About us
Friends of Cape Haze (FOCH) was founded in 2003 in response a proposed high rise, high density hotel/condo development along Placida Road. A group of concerned citizens representing citizens and homeowner’s associations in the area came together after seeing what was planned to request that the county carefully study the proposal and it’s implications.
Our mission
The mission of the Friends of Cape Haze is to protect our area from destructive development in violation of current zoning or land use regulations.
In collaboration with our community partners we will communicate, educate and advocate for sound development in our area along with appropriate land use regulations and zoning.
