Status context. Pine Island reports January20,2026 approval of rezoning, annexation, final plat, final development plan and conditional use permit for Project Skyway’s initial phase. This is phase-specific local land-use approval, not approval of the entire 482-acre study area, PUC electric-service approval, construction completion or operation. The regulator still lists the separate ESA under review.
