The Board of County Commissioners will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. in celebration of the re-opening of the newly improved Crawford Rd. The improvements included paving the 6.5 mile-long, two lane dirt road connecting County Road 121 with the existing paved portion of Crawford Road, just west of US 301.
The $6.95 million project is critical to improving mobility, promoting job growth, and attracting industry to western Nassau County. The project is strategically located to become a future industrial and technological epicenter supported logistically by a robust roadway and railway transportation hub. 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 County held a groundbreaking ceremony on November 2, 2020 and has been anxiously awaiting its completion. District 4 County Commissioner and Chairman of the Board, Thomas Ford, “The paving of Crawford Road was long overdue. I am really excited for the citizens of Western Nassau. This investment not only makes our day-to-day lives better, but it also opens up the opportunity to attract high-wage jobs to our community. This project will benefit the citizens of Nassau for decades to come”. The Ribbon Cutting will take place at the intersection of the previously paved portion of Crawford Rd. and the newly paved segment, approximately one (1) mile west of US301. The public is welcome to attend. If you have any questions, please contact Engineering Services at (904) 530-6225. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer  10/27/21 @ 8:45 a.m. - In case you missed it! The Planning Department will be presenting the SR200/A1A Corridor Plan "Timber to Tides Project" at a community meeting tonight.
In 2019, Nassau County began work on the corridor design study for 11 miles of A1A/SR200 from west of Police Lodge Rd. to the Shave Bridge. The goal of the study was to transform A1A/SR200 into a place that functions not only as a major roadway, but as a place that provides opportunities for living and working, and to create a sense of place in Nassau County based on our community's history, character, and quality of life. We listened to the community and crafted a plan that incorporates the community's ideas and addresses the issues that are important to you. Now, the Planning Department is seeking the community's thoughts on prioritizing the implementation. WHEN: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 TIME: 6:00 p.m. WHERE: FSCJ Nassau-Red Ben Center, 76346 William Burgess Blvd., Yulee, FL 32097 For more information, visit https://www.nassaucountyfl.com/951/SR200A1A-Corridor-Master-Plan-Draft. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer 10/26/21 @ 9:30 a.m. - The Board of County Commissioners is currently seeking two volunteers to represent Nassau County on Arts & Culture Nassau.

In 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau conducted the decennial census which is designed to count every resident in the Country. This is done every ten years to capture changes to the local population and adjust district boundaries to ensure all residents across the Country are equally represented. The census data collection is also used to determine the number of seats each State has in the U.S. House of Representatives and directly affects how trillions of U.S. dollars are distributed to local governments to fund hospitals, schools, and roads. After each decennial census, the County Commission is required to divide its county into districts of contiguous territory based on the new census data. Civic engagement, public participation, data and analysis and a thorough comprehension of rational local policy conditions are integral in properly executing this critical public duty. As such, the Board of County Commissioners cordially invites all residents and interested parties to engage in the electoral redistricting process. A series of public meetings have been scheduled to share information about the electoral redistricting process and will allow residents to ask questions and provide comments related to the various options on how the electoral districts could be redrawn based on the 2020 Census count results. Those meetings are as follows: Open House (Western Nassau) Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Callahan Multi-Purpose Facility, 543350 US Highway 1, Callahan, FL 32011 Open House (Eastern Nassau) Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Emma Love Hardee Elementary School, 2200 Susan Drive, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 Open House (Central Nassau) Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Yulee Middle School, 85439 Miner Rd., Yulee, FL 32097 Following the open house series, the Board of County Commissioners will hold meetings to further discuss and ultimately, adopt a new District Map.
