Told that this area was greatly affected by cancer among children & women, & families moved away by the dozens. All this land became available to build on again.This concerns me greatly. What was in & near area? Testing plants? Radioactive facilities

Hard to supposition that the pesticides that Callery Judge used are any worse than any other agriculture in Florida, or even all the weed killer and pesticides in every garage of the average Acreage home. My first home in Acreage was on well water, similar to most of Loxahatchee. The Westlake community itself is on city water, like city of West Palm Beach. All testing from DEP, environmental agencies and law firms into the wells and canals around Acreage haven't conclusively pointed to the source of the 13 pediatric cases which are statistically abnormal for the estimated population size (although many anecdotally blame P&W with their numerous documented leaks and spills over 30 years). These cases were spread out over 20+ years and is not much different than St Lucie's own cancer cluster with almost the same number of cases. To put this "greatly affected" in context, most of Florida is statistically above normal for skin cancer AND cateracts compared to other states.

Just read that there were orange groves there & planes would spray chemical pesticides (proven to cause cancer) on these lands. Still have farms there that use chemical sprays & manure that affect this living space daily. They make you aware of this & you must agree that you still want to live there & they are not liable for any outcome. BTW... The info that I provided above was in their (Westlake) booklet filled with information regarding the community and the homes. This isn't something I made up or copied off the Internet. Just wanted you to be aware of that because it is a stated fact it's in their booklet. Whether or not you're going to get cancer from the surrounding farming areas, cannot say but either way they tell you they're not responsible if anything happens.

The development is new and there is no cancer...people started moved in 6 months ago. It was agricultural land and palms there is and was nothing but land and no radioactive facility whatoever. You might verify your information because all of this is completely wrong.
