We report on the stories that shape daily life in Clermont, Leesburg, Tavares, Groveland, Eustis, Mount Dora, Minneola, Mascotte, Umatilla and the communities in between: local government decisions, public safety, schools, weather and storms, roads and growth, high school sports, community events and the people who make this county what it is.
