We are pleased to announce the attached Press Release  confirming that the lawsuit filed by Coconut Grove residents against the City of Miami and Home Depot regarding the Grove Gate Shopping Center has been settled. 

The attached Press Release was agreed to by the plaintiffs and the defendants.

 

The Grove First and Coconut Grove residents are very proud that their efforts resulted in the store being scaled back by nearly 50%, the trees were saved and the grocery store remains.

 

Coconut Grove has not been severely impacted by the scaled down, non-contractor store and traffic has been kept to a minimum. The neighbors remain vigilant over the store and feel the Grove has been saved from having another SW 8th St. disaster.

 

Rest assured the plaintiffs received no compensation, monetary or otherwise, as a result of this settlement.

 

Never doubt that a group of committed citizens can't make a difference,  it's the only thing that ever has.
