Stockade Off Limits

A proposal to build a vocational high school on county land next to the fairgrounds has been met with resistance from County Mayor Sara Baxter, who is at odds with activist Jorge Garrido over the use of 11 acres set aside for Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s use. Read more at BocaVibe.com.

Garrido had initially secured Sheriff Bradshaw’s support to relocate a vocational school to the site, but when he lost that backing, he shifted his focus to Baxter. However, Baxter has refused to budge on the issue, citing concerns over the impact on public safety and the potential for increased crime in the area.

Despite the setback, Garrido remains committed to finding a solution for the vocational school, which he believes will provide much-needed training programs for local youth. “This is not just about building a school,” he said. “It’s about giving our young people the skills they need to succeed in life.”
