MADEIRA BEACH — Despite protests from more than 50 residents Monday night, the planning commission unanimously approved an $80 million development project that could add thousands of cars to daily traffic on the Tom Stuart Causeway.
But before the project can go forward, it also must receive the approval of the City Commission, as well as state and county regulatory agencies.
Only a handful of the residents who turned out for this second public hearing favored the proposed hotel, restaurant and condo complex.
