There is an article in the Orlando Mullet Wrapper on the failed sale of Blue Grotto. The high bid was only 1.5 million and the owner declined the bid. It was reported that they might have gone as high as 2 mil but still no sale. He thinks the water bottling potential adds significant value, but the article says the county has successfully stopped this effort in court. While he has a permit from SWFWM, the county won't give him a permit to build trucking facilities. All of the registered bidders were looking at it as a dive operation but it looks like no one was willing to go over 2 mil. The guy that owns Vortex is quoted as willing to go 1 million.

I guess we will need to wait and see what happens.
