"The Line" is the County’s Urban Development Boundary (UDB), a land use rule that protects our green space, farms, and drinking water from overdevelopment and urban sprawl. Put simply, it’s a tool that helps our county make smart land use decisions and prioritize investments in existing neighborhoods.
By Holding The Line, we invest in thriving communities with affordable and accessible housing and transportation for all our residents, we preserve the agricultural heritage and economic diversity of our county, and we protect sensitive natural lands essential to restoring the health of the Everglades and Biscayne Bay.
