Dear Brevard County Residents,

I hope this communication finds you all well. After careful consideration and listening to the thoughts and concerns of Cocoa Beach residents, we have decided to discontinue our pursuit of an agreement with Brevard County regarding the proposed enhancements to Lori Wilson Park. In full candor, we believe it is vital to listen to the voices of the community we serve. We want to as-sure you that this choice reflects our commitment to fostering a harmonious relationship with all stakeholders involved.

Our intention has never been to exclude residents from enjoying the park or to impose limitations on the major events that have become such a cherished part of our community. On the contrary, we have always aimed to enhance the experience for both residents and visitors alike while ensuring that Lori Wilson Park remains a welcoming and accessible space. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the community and to engage in open dialogue about how we can best serve the interests of everyone who loves and uses this beautiful park.

In light of this, we are directing our efforts toward a positive contribution that aligns with the community's needs. We are pleased to announce that we are modifying our request to the county so that we can make a donation towards the development of a newer, enhanced dog park, which will provide a wonderful space for pets and their owners to enjoy. We believe this decision reflects our dedication to serving the interests of Cocoa Beach residents while promoting community well-being. Outside of this donation to upgrade and relocate the dog park everything else will stay the same (status quo). We believe this addresses all the issues mentioned at the County Commission. We will still hold the meeting on Tuesday (tomorrow) at 5PM at the Hilton Cocoa Beach to discuss the improvements to the dog park that we will be presenting to the County Commission.

We deeply value the spirit of Cocoa Beach and are dedicated to being a responsible corporate citizen. We truly appreciate your feedback and involvement throughout this process. As we move forward, we remain committed to finding ways to contribute positively and to support the vibrant community that makes Cocoa Beach a remarkable place to live and visit.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to working together to ensure that Lori Wilson Park remains a beloved and accessible hub for all.

Best regards,
Carlos J. Rodriguez
