9/30/21 @ 9:15 a.m. - Today is the final day to respond to the survey regarding beach access and beach parking. As previously announced, the County hired Walker Consultants to develop a comprehensive plan for beach access and parking on Amelia Island to ensure there is adequate access as the County continues to grow. If you have not completed the survey yet, please do so now. It will take about 5-7 minutes to complete. We realize your parking and beach access choices may change from day to day so we are asking that you tell us about your experiences on a typical day.

County employees wore gold today in memory of Jacob Berglund on his birthday. Jacob is a Nassau County resident who passed away last year after a two year battle with leukemia. Jacob was known for his positive outlook on life and his infectious smile. He was also known as “Buzz” because he was the Hornets Mascot for both the Yulee Middle and Yulee High School. He is greatly missed by this community.

His family made a post on FaceBook encouraging residents to make a donation in his honor to Fourth and Gold, a non profit organization that raised money for childhood cancer research. Here’s the link to Fourth and Gold’s webpage for anyone who is interested.

9/23/21 @ 12:00 p.m. - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our employees, Bill Howard.

Bill had worked for Nassau County since 2003 and was serving as a Facilities Supervisor at the time of his passing. In his position, Bill worked at the Judicial Complex where he oversaw maintenance of the Robert M. Foster Justice Center, the jail, the Sheriff's Administration Building and the Emergency Operations Center. He was also responsible for ensuring that the County's HVAC systems were working properly in ALL county buildings. He supervised facilities staff that worked with the HVAC systems, serving as a mentor to those in the apprenticeship program earning HVAC certifications.

Most recently, Bill had been accepted to the Chamber's Leadership Nassau Program. He was excited to learn more about the County as a whole and networking with other future leaders in the community.

Bill was an outstanding employee to the County but even more than that, he was an outstanding role model and friend to many. He will be greatly missed by all of us.

Bill leaves behind his wife Denise Howard, daughter Christina (Caleb) Hodges, sister Angie (Mark) Glisson, parents William Howard Sr., and Brenda Howard, granddaughter Delilah Hodges, and many nieces and nephews. Please keep all of them in your prayers during this difficult time. Bill's obituary can be found here.
