4/14/2026

4/14/26 @ 1:45 p.m.

​At its meeting held on Monday, April 13, 2026, the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) directed the County Attorney to draft a twelve-month moratorium on the development of data centers within unincorporated Nassau County.


If adopted, the temporary moratorium would pause the acceptance and processing of new applications for data center development, providing the County time to carefully evaluate the scale, intensity, and potential impacts of such uses. This includes consideration of land use compatibility, infrastructure demands, and long-term community priorities.

At this time, there are no active or pending applications for data center development in unincorporated Nassau County, however this is a proactive approach to ensure appropriate standards are in place moving forward.

A draft ordinance for the proposed moratorium will be presented for discussion at the Monday, April 27, 2026 meeting, commencing at 5:00 p.m. Adoption of the ordinance will require two public hearings, to be held on Monday, May 11, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., and the final hearing on Monday, June 8, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.

Meetings take place in the Commission Chambers located at 96135 Nassau Place, Yulee, FL 32097. As always, the public is invited to attend and participate in these meetings/hearings.

If you have any questions, please contact the County Manager’s Office at (904) 530-6010.

It's Government Finance Professionals Week.

This week, sponsored by the Florida Government Finance Officers Association (FGFOA), we recognize the vital work government finance professionals do for our state and community. Founded in 1937, FGFOA serves more than 3,300 professionals from state, county, and city governments, school districts, colleges, universities, special districts, and private firms. The association provides opportunities through education, networking, leadership, and information.

At their Wednesday, March 18, 2026 meeting, the BOCC honored the dedicated professionals from the Office of Management & Budget and the Clerk of Courts Finance Division. This recognition came the same day the county’s independent auditor presented on Nassau County’s strong financial stewardship, an accomplishment made possible by these professionals’ hard work in ensuring policies are followed and financial processes are effective. We thank them for their expertise, dedication, and the countless ways they support the community’s financial health.

Fiscal Year 24/25 Audit Presented

3/18/2026

0 Comments

 
3/18/26 @ 10:00 a.m. - 
​
​At the Wednesday, March 18, 2026 Board of County Commissioners meeting, Ron Whitesides, Auditor for Purvis Gray, presented the audit for Fiscal Year 2024/2025, which ended on September 30, 2025. Mr. Whitesides stated, "We have issued an unmodified opinion. That’s the highest level of assurance your auditor can give. It means it's a clean report and that the County applies all the appropriate accounting policies and practices required."

Each year, a team of external auditors spends nearly 2,000 hours studying the County's controls and processes to ensure they are appropriate and functioning properly. Using an outside auditor ensures financial transparency and the efficient use of public funds. Mr. Whitesides explained the process, stating, "We started last summer. We sent a team of auditors to each Constitutional Office, including those of the BOCC. This is the culmination of that process."

He further explained this year's audit, saying, "This year we contacted single audits. When you receive Federal and State grant assistance at certain levels, we're required to do a deep-dive into some of those programs. This year we looked at five different grant programs, three which were transportation grants. There was also a land acquisition grant and the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program grant. I'm pleased to report we have no compliance issues related to any of those programs, and that is an area that during these governmental audits, a lot of people get tripped up on. Yours was clean and in good shape."

Part of the audit process is reviewing the processes and controls that the County has in place. Mr. Whitesides added, "Your staff are the ones that make sure that happens. Our role is to come in and check what they are doing, and they've done a very good job."
The BOCC extends thanks to Mr. Whitesides and the entire Purvis Gray team for their professionalism and thorough work, as well as to the dedicated staff in the Office of Management & Budget and the Clerk of Courts for their attention to detail and commitment to accurate, transparent financial records.
​
The BOCC remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of fiscal accountability and transparency. This thorough audit reflects the County’s dedication to responsible management of public funds and adherence to best practices in financial oversight. By engaging external auditors to review every process and program, the County ensures residents can have confidence in the integrity and stewardship of its finances.
