EUSTIS, FL-Cambridge Homes, an Altamonte Springs-based homebuilder, has voluntarily presented a $100,000 check to the City of Eustis. The payment is in exchange for Eustis officials halting their protest of a 118-acre annexation nine miles away near the City of Tavares.
Eustis elected officials had maintained earlier the land should be annexed by Eustis, not Tavares, because a portion of the dirt lies in Eustis and in unincorporated Lake County.
