Happy 200th Birthday to Nassau County!

Established on December 29, 1824, Nassau County boasts a unique history and culture. From historic Amelia Island, sandy beaches, and championship golf courses, to scenic rivers, green pastures, and majestic timberlands, Nassau County truly offers something for everyone.

Looking to the Future:
Like many Florida counties, Nassau County has experienced significant growth. While growth cannot be prevented, it's important that policies are in place for protecting and enhancing key areas of importance while accommodating future trends. Over the past 18 months, the Board of County Commissioners have worked tirelessly on the Nassau Vision 2050, a collaborative process involving local leaders, residents, businesses, and stakeholders to shape the future of our community. This planning process and the resulting policies will be critical for the ability to promote and manage growth.

"All Voices, One Vision"
The BOCC is excited about the progress that has been made so far with the Nassau Vision 2050 initiative and looks forward to implementing future policy based on the collective feedback of Nassau County residents.

Nassau Vision 2050 efforts throughout 2024 included identifying what makes the community unique, establishing the vision of what Nassau County desires to become in the future, and providing the necessary baseline for updates to the County’s State-mandated Comprehensive Plan.

Community outreach efforts have included stakeholder interviews, community surveys, and 20 pop-up events around the County. In an effort to gain as much feedback as possible, the BOCC and Planning Staff have also been present at numerous large, community events throughout the year such as the Independence Day Celebration in Callahan, the Opening of the Beaches Event in Fernandina Beach, the County's Bicentennial Kick-off Event in Yulee, and County’s Annual Tree Lighting.

We look forward to wrapping up the Nassau Vision 2050 initiative and sharing the results with the community in early 2025. For more information, please visit https://www.nassaufl2050.com/

​The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) presented its final Nassau County Bicentennial Event, the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Thank you to all who joined, celebrating our community, and sharing your vision for the future of Nassau County at the Vision 2050 tent.

On behalf of the BOCC, we would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday season!

-Sabrina Robertson
 Public Information Officer

12/3/24 @ 9:00 a.m. - Approximately 1,500 residents joined us on Friday, December 6, 2024 for the 3rd Annual Tree Lighting. This family-friendly event included holiday vendors, holiday performances by the Nassau Community Band and Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), train rides, Santa's village photo ops, food trucks, a kid's zone, roller skating, photos with Santa, and the lighting of the tree. This year's event also included a 10-minute fireworks display as we wrapped up our year of Bicentennial Celebrations. 

A big thank you to all of the vendors and performers for participating. We couldn't have done it without you! And congratulations to Nassau County Parks & Recreation for another successful event. We appreciate all of your hard work and efforts to bring events to the community. 

Last but not least, thank you to the hundreds of residents who stopped by our Vision Tent and participated in games and activities while providing input for Nassau County's future. Residents can still provide feedback by participating in the Growth Scenarios Survey. This survey was built upon the community building blocks identified from previous community engagement and surveys. One final preferred growth scenario will be created and included in the 2050 Vision Plan. This preferred scenario will inform updates to the Future Land Use Map and the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Learn more here.
