Title House Slates Hearings on Marco Report Alternative Title House Hearings on Marco Report Subject Marco Island (Fla.) Description A newspaper article discussing a report that alleged the concealment of dredge-and-fill permit violations by the Marco Island Development Corporation in Marco Island, Florida. The report claims that these violations were concealed from the Florida Legislature prior to its approval of continued development by the land development company. According to the article, representatives of the Governor Reubin Askew (1928-2014) and the Internal Improvement Fund (IFF) denied the allegations. Hearings were scheduled by the House Natural Resources Committee to investigate the report .A couple of months after this article was published, the hearing on the Burgess report was held on July 15, 1972, and determined there was no evidence that violations of state law occurred, and that no evidence of violations was withheld by the Internal Improvement Fund. The Marco Island Development Corporation was formed in 1964 for the purpose of developing Marco Island into a residential and tourist area. This entailed dredging the island’s submerged areas, excavating sand and soil, and re-filling to create areas suitable for construction. Dredging and filling is regulated at both state and federal levels. The Internal Improvement Fund (IIF) held veto powers over dredging and filling after the passing of the Randell-Thomas Act in 1967. Construction on Marco Island thus required the IIF to approve plans and pass their recommendations to the Florida Cabinet.
