The only way to really know is to excavate so that's what we're doing and we'll see what it is." In 2017, the Florida House and Senate passed resolutions formally apologizing for the abuse of juveniles sent to Dozier and a related facility in Okeechobee. The resolutions accompanied a law that required the state to turn over about 360 acres, containing the Dozier sites North Campus, South Campus and Boot Hill Cemetery, to Jackson County. Rick Scott steered $5.8 million to Jackson County to redevelop the Dozier campus into a regional distribution and manufacturing center. Community leaders hope the Dozier property can eventually be repurposed for new industries to move to the area.
