TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet have approved buying land to add to a National Guard training site and a north Florida spring.

A land purchase request by Florida State University also was approved.

Scott and Cabinet members Thursday approved a $2.1 million deal to buy land around Camp Blanding in Starke. The extra space is needed to buffer against noise from artillery training. The federal government will contribute $1.5 million toward the purchase.

They also OK’d $1.5 million for more than 600 acres around Wakulla Springs to save it from development and protect the underground water.

And they gave approval for nearly $2.6 million for two privately-owned parcels inside Florida State’s campus to allow for the eventual building of a new film school.
