9/19/18 @ 11:55 a.m. - At today's Board of County Commissioner's meeting, several members of Nassau County Public Works were presented with the Florida Association of County and Road Superintendents (FACERS) 2018 Team Project of the Year Award for the Swallowfork Subdivision project.

The award was presented by Rebecca Price, Marketing Manager for England Thims & Miller, on behalf of FACERS. Ms. Price stated " The 100+ home subdivision had been plagued with drainage issues and roads that were in continuous need of maintenance. Road & Bridge employees successfully used existing outfall ditches and adjusted elevation to re-route roadside drainage, regraded ditches to achieve proper flow, and added a double chip seal to 1.3 miles of roadway to improve surface conditions". All work was done in-house by County employees to avoid the large costs associated with hiring outside contractors to design the project and complete construction.

Chairman Pat Edwards thanked the employees for their hard work and the positive impact on the residents of Swallowfork. District Five Commissioner, Justin Taylor, echoed the Chairman's comments. He also added that he personally received calls from several citizens who expressed their gratitude to the County for all the improvements.

Road & Bridge Supervisor, David Hearn, said, "The men here today are just a few of the 40+ employees who worked on this project. I am very proud of the job they have done and appreciate all their hard work".

For additional information about the Swallowfork Project, please see the story we shared here on July 23rd when the County was first notified of the award.

9/14/18 @ 2:45 p.m. - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the Honorable Robert E. Williams.

Mr. Williams contributed greatly to Nassau County. He was a teacher and mentor, and was actively involved in numerous civic boards and organizations. He became the first prosecutor based in Nassau County in 1972 and was elected in 1984 as County and Juvenile Judge where he served for twenty-two (22) years. He also founded Nassau County's Teen Court in 1998, and held a positive and long-lasting impact on many teens appearing and participating in Teen Court throughout the years. Mr. Williams is widely recognized for his commitment to the safety and well-being of the citizens of Nassau County, Florida and will be greatly missed by the residents, as well as those who had the privilege to work with him.

Judge Robert Foster issued the attached Proclamation in honor of Judge Williams and has ordered all flags at County-owned facilities to be flown at half-staff in his memory through sunset on September 22, 2018.
