That Smell in Tangerine, Florida and Nearby Neighborhoods

  Once again, we had a Saturday night ruined by bad odors. I'd love to see Tangerine become a hub for commercials and short films again.

I don't see how that can happen if the location managers and production companies won't shoot here due to the odor.

For Zellwood, Tangerine, Surrounding Neighborhoods June 13, 2020 Orange County sent an update on their investigation of the local odors.  Anuvia and Shelleys are dealing with the FDEP. There really isn't a lot of new information here on them. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services inspected Monterey Mushrooms and didn't mention the odor in their report but did mention a sanitation issue.

Based on the way the envelope was addressed, I believe that her office used the mailing address of the first property owner listed with the appraiser's office.  If you rent or lease you may not have received one. In that case, contact Ms. Moore via Facebook  Orange County District 2 Commissioner  or call her office at 407-836-7350 to get on her list as you should have a voice too.  Quoting  her, "...I still have concerns the remediation will be unsuccessful. ... [These businesses] must also be moved to action due to hearing first hand examples of how their odors are substantially altering lives."  We cannot let our work done so far slip away.
