Please join us on Monday, September 26th at 4:00 p.m. at the Yulee Sports Complex as we celebrate the grand opening of the new football field. Representatives from Nassau County and the Jaguars Foundation will participate in the ceremonial "cutting of the ribbon", representing completion of the project. The project began in February 2016 with the presentation of a $100,000 check from the Jaguars Foundation which was used to match county funds to construct the new field and renovate an existing field.

Nassau County is excited that the children will have an additional place to play football and are very appreciative of the Jaguars Foundation for helping make this dream a reality. We hope that the families in our community will join us on Monday in celebrating this great achievement!

County Employees Recognized For Outstanding Community Service

9/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
At the Wednesday, September 21 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners recognized County employees who assisted during and after the tornado touchdown that occurred on August 4th.

The EF-1 tornado was over 600 feet wide with an estimated 100 mph winds. It traveled over 4 miles and was on the ground for nearly 17 minutes. During that time, the storm flipped over trailers, blew a semi truck onto an occupied car on State Road 200, tore down power lines, and knocked over hundreds of trees onto homes and across roads. The storm damaged approximately 40 homes, several businesses, blocked several roadways, and caused widespread debris and flooding.

The Nassau County Sheriff's Office responded immediately by activating the Emergency Operations Center, setting up command locations to assist in traffic control, removing trees from blocked roadways, and coordinated with local businesses regarding volunteer efforts and donations.

Nassau County Fire Rescue, Reserve Station 3 in Yulee, and Reserve Station 11 in Nassau Oaks, responded to multiples scenes involving live wires down, citizens trapped in their vehicles, and trees on top of homes, all while managing day to day emergency calls.

The Nassau County Road & Bridge Department, County Manager's Office, Engineering Department, and Code Enforcement immediately began to coordinate a response to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the community.

Special recognition was given to Nassau County Road & Bridge employees who spent countless hours during and after the storm removing debris from roadways. Many of these employees went above and beyond the call of duty, working hundreds of hours in overtime picking up limbs, cutting large pieces of tree, and hauling them away. Many people in the community contacted the County to express their gratitude to these employees and said that their hard work and caring demeanor did not go unnoticed. We truly appreciated the positive feedback.

Great job to everyone involved!

On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, members of Nassau County Public Works assessed County roads and determined that they will not be picking up debris from the storm at this time. Please note that Nassau County does not typically pick up storm debris, however an exception was made following the tornado on August 4th due to the over abundance of large trees. The Board may discuss this issue further at their meeting taking place on Monday, September 12th at 6:00 p.m.

You may contact your garbage company and request a pick up or you can deliver your debris to Sandhill Recycling Center located at 153326 County Road in Yulee. You will need to contact your garbage company and Sandhill Recycling Center directly to discuss any special requirements for bagging and/or associated costs.
