Residents and officials in Jamaica Beach expressed strong opposition to the proposed Discovery Sands development, a 170-acre marina community. Concerns raised included increased traffic, flooding risks, and potential environmental impacts.

The project plans to include 568 residential lots, a marina, and a lagoon, which some council members likened to a resort rather than a neighborhood. The proposal is set for a public hearing on March 26, with questions about its necessity and infrastructure remaining unanswered.
