Biographical history
In 1968 Robert Padrick was Chairman for the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District. The Everglades jetport, for which this road was proposed, was hotly debated by developers and environmentalists during the 1960s and 1970s. This letter started organized efforts against the construction of the jetport, and subsequently led to the formation of an environmental movement in South Florida.
