Citrus County Commissioner Josh Wooten has expanded his legal team, and work on a boat ramp project has been postponed. According to the Citrus County Chronicle, Wooten has added two new attorneys to his team as he faces a lawsuit related to his actions as a commissioner.
The boat ramp project, which was set to begin construction on March 1, 2024, at 1225 Southeast 180th Avenue in Homosassa, has been postponed due to delays in the permitting process. The project, which aims to improve the existing boat ramp and create additional parking, has been met with resistance from some local residents.
Wooten, who represents District 4 in Citrus County, has been embroiled in controversy surrounding his actions as commissioner. The new lawsuit alleges that Wooten improperly used his position to influence the county’s decision-making process. Wooten’s expanded legal team will likely focus on defending him against these allegations.
The Citrus County Board of Commissioners will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on the boat ramp project as more information becomes available. Residents can stay informed about the project by visiting the Citrus County website or attending future board meetings.
