Groundbreaking Ceremony for Pages Dairy Road Widening & Resurfacing Project
 
Nassau County, Florida, October 30, 2020 – On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at 11:30 a.m., the Board of County Commissioners will host a groundbreaking ceremony in celebration of the upcoming improvements to Pages Dairy Road between Chester Rd. and Felmor Rd.
 
The County secured grant funding totaling $1.25 from the Florida Department of Transportation to assist with construction costs. The State officially added the project to their 5-Year Work Program in March of 2015 for funding to become available to the County in 2020. The total project cost is $4.7 million, leaving the County’s portion of $3.4 million.
 
The roadway design is complete and a contract for Construction Engineering Inspection Services has been secured. In order to remain eligible for State funding, the County must move forward with construction in order to meet the State’s December 2021 deadline.
 
Concerns have been expressed about this project taking place while the State Road 200 project is still underway. Fortunately, the State recently notified the County that the work on State Road 200 will be completed before the end of 2020. The Pages Dairy work will begin in mid-late November, so there will only be a few weeks where the two projects will overlap. Also, please be advised that the contractor for the Pages Dairy Rd. Project will not permitted to have lane or road closures during peak hours. This type of work will be limited to the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
 
District Three County Commissioner, Pat Edwards, stated, “I am grateful to the State for providing grant funding to assist the County with much needed improvements to this segment of road. The County and residents have been anxious to have this work completed and I am happy to see it finally come to fruition”.
 
County Engineer, Robert Companion, added, “As the only east-west corridor to State Road 200, the improvements to Pages Dairy Road are necessary to ensure this major collector road serves citizens well in the future. The improvements include wider vehicle lanes, bike lanes, and right and left turn lanes onto Felmor Rd. from Pages Dairy”.  
 
The Groundbreaking Ceremony will be held in front of the Harbor Shores Apostolic Church located at 86674 Pages Dairy Rd. The public is welcome to attend. Reverend James Beale has graciously given permission for the public to utilize their lot for parking during the event.

New Ladder Truck

10/29/2020

0 Comments

 
10/29/20 @ 2:45 p.m. - On Wednesday, October 28, 2020, a new ladder truck was delivered to Nassau County Fire Rescue. This truck was purchased through the County's Fleet Replacement Program and will replace the 18 year old ladder truck currently housed at Station 20. Each truck is built to order and as a result, it takes just over a year from purchase date to delivery date.

The new Metro 100 ladder truck boasts an industry-leading 2.5 to 1 safety factor which exceeds the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) 2 to 1 requirement. The compact wheel base is designed to allow the unit to fit between close structures and the ladder reaches up to 100 feet in height. Its modern design and features will increase the department's ability to respond to emergency situations.

The unit was delivered to Nassau County Fire Rescue Headquarters by an employee of the manufacturer. He was joined by his friend, Lucky the Dalmatian. Of course we had to get a picture with Lucky in front of the truck.

If you have any questions, please contact Nassau County Fire Rescue at (904) 530-6600.

Nassau County, Florida, October 28, 2020 – On Monday, November 2, 2020 at 11:30 a.m., the Board of County Commissioners will host a groundbreaking ceremony in celebration of the upcoming Crawford Road Project. This project consists of paving a new 6.5 mile-long, two lane road, connecting County Road 121 with the existing paved portion of Crawford Road, just west of US 301.
 
The Board entered into an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation in March 2014 for Small County Outreach Program (SCOP) grant funding to assist with project costs. The project was added to the State’s Five-Year Work Program in 2014, however the agreement was later amended to provide additional State funding and extend the project timeline. The total cost of the project is $7.9 million, however $5.7 million is being provided by FDOT, leaving the County’s portion at $2.2 million.
 
It is anticipated that the project will be complete by the end of August 2021.
 
District Four County Commissioner, Thomas Ford, stated, “Paving this segment of Crawford Road will increase mobility on the west side of the County. I am very excited to see work begin on this project and look forward to its completion”.
 
County Engineer, Robert Companion, added, “The paving and improvements to Crawford Rd. will provide citizens with a connection from State Road 200 (US 301) to County Road 121, while also providing the infrastructure needed for the future of the Crawford Diamond area”.  
 
The Groundbreaking Ceremony will be held on the corner County Road 121 and Crawford Road. The public is invited to attend.

The Board of County Commissioners is currently seeking Nassau County residents who own homestead property and meet other criteria below to serve on the Value Adjustment Board (the VAB). One resident will serve as a member on the VAB, and another resident will serve as an alternate member on the VAB.

The purpose of the VAB is to hear appeals regarding property value assessments, denied exemptions or classifications, ad valorem tax deferrals, portability decisions, and change of ownership or control. Taxpayers or their representatives file petitions with the VAB clerk in the county where the property is located. The VAB is an independent entity not affiliated with the property appraiser or the tax collector.

Per Florida Statute 194, appeals will be heard before the VAB’s appointed Special Magistrates who will make recommendations to the VAB in order to render a final decision.

The Board consists of the following:
  • Two (2) members of the Board of County Commissioners (one of whom shall serve as the Chairman)
  • One (1) member of the School Board, elected by the School Board
  • Two (2) citizen members, one of whom shall be appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and must own homestead property in Nassau County and the other appointed by the School Board and must own a business occupying commercial space within the School District. The citizen member may not be a member or an employee of any taxing authority and may not be a person who represents property owners in any administrative or judicial review of property taxes.

The VAB holds meetings as needed. Board members do not receive any compensation for their time and/or travel. Board members are required to file financial disclosure.

If you are interested in serving, please submit a resume to [email protected] by October 30, 2020. Resumes will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners in November for review and consideration.

For more information regarding the Value Adjustment Board, please contact the
