📰 News we're reading
• Developer sues Lake Park over stalled plan for 16-story downtown tower (coralspringsflnews.com) — A major 16-story tower proposed for downtown Lake Park is now at the center of a federal lawsuit, with the developer accusing town officials of stalling approvals and weaponizing code enforcement. Town leaders strongly deny the claims, saying they're simply enforcing standards on neglected properties. The outcome could shape Lake Park's skyline, housing mix, and small-town character for years. 
• Dolly Parton's Imagination Library sees surge in donations and registrations after her death (wptv.com subscription) — Families in Lake Park can receive free, high-quality children's books each month through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which has seen a surge in local registrations and donations after her death. The program helps kids build home libraries of up to 60 books before kindergarten, reducing screen time and boosting early literacy. A 5K fundraiser in November will support expanding service to more communities.
