Thank you to the dozens of residents that came out to the public meeting on Phase 4 of the Amelia Island Trail project last night. Residents got the opportunity to learn more about this phase of the project, which will extend the shared-use path by three miles from the Amelia River to Sea Trail to a point just before the Egans Creek Greenway Trail. This project includes roadway safety improvements, median safety improvements along South 14th Street, new pedestrian flashing beacons at the beginning and end of the section, and upgrades to pedestrian detection systems. If you missed the meeting but want to add your input, email [email protected].

Thank you to the dozens of Nassau County residents who came out to the community meeting in Bryceville last Friday. It was a chance to meet county leaders and Board Chair Alyson McCullough to talk about the Vision 2050 plan, the Capital Improvement Plan, and construction on County Road 121. Residents were also able to speak directly with engineering and construction contractors for the CR 121 project. 

As shared at the meeting, some phases of the CR 121 project will require shutting the road down completely in some sections, which is unavoidable due to several factors. We understand that this creates a long detour, and we are working with the contractor to find ways to reduce the impact and duration of these planned closures. 

County Staff is committed to providing more robust notification and information for residents throughout the contract. Questions can be directed to our Deputy County Manager/County Engineer Robert Companion at [email protected], or by contacting the District Four County Commissioner, Alyson McCullough, at (904) 319-0689 or via e-mail at [email protected]. 

We appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy schedule to come out and provide their feedback, and we look forward to future opportunities to interact and hear directly from residents.

This year’s Tree Lighting was more than a single moment. It was the result of weeks of planning, preparation, and teamwork behind the scenes. Held on Friday, December 5, 2025 at the Robert M. Foster Justice Center the event featured kids activities, food trucks, a vendor market, a trackless train, the lighting of the tree, and a festive fireworks display.

Even with the wet weather, the evening was a wonderful success, and this video captures the spirit, dedication, and community pride that made it so special. Thank you to everyone who came out and hung in there with us in the rain. We truly do this for our community!
