Contrary to some, Home Depot fight has not been lost

In last Sunday's article regarding the Mango Strut parade [Strutting their stuff, Jan. 1], it was stated that the Home Depot fight in Coconut Grove was lost.

We have not lost yet.

We may have lost politically, but in no way has it been lost legally. A Home Depot is a C-2 industrial warehouse and has no right to go into a C-1 light commercial zoning.

Until you see a big orange box on the former Kmart site, we have not lost.

The Grove First has expended countless hours on an awareness campaign and the campaign depends on continuing volunteer hours and contributions from residents. If residents believe that the fight is over, then we will lose.

This fight is for all the marbles. All of Miami must know that the fight is not over.
