Homestead, Florida - A hearing has been scheduled to discuss Everglades restoration efforts in Homestead.

Florida lawmakers are set to meet Wednesday afternoon.

The Florida House Joint Legislative Committee on Everglades Oversight is seeing public opinions. Some Everglades issues include the controversial $536 million U.S. Sugar land deal; concerns about the C-111 canal overhaul increasing flood risks to South Miami-Dade farms; even efforts to push Miami-Dade's urban development closer to Everglades National Park.

The committee is chaired by Republican Representative Julio Robaina of Miami.
