County Still Seeking Donations for Construction of Derrick Henry Monument Signs

8/17/17 @ 11:30 a.m. - In January 2016, the Board approved a resolution in support of a request to the Florida Department of Transportation to create and place customized signs in Yulee along State Road 200 and US 17 in honor of 2015 Heisman Trophy Winner, Derrick Henry. The estimated cost for permitting and construction of both signs was $27,490. The Board has been seeking donations to assist with the costs.

To date, only $5,685 has been raised. The Board is looking for help from the public to bring this project to fruition so Mr. Henry can get the recognition he deserves. If you are interested in making a donation, please make a check payable to the Board of Commissioners with a note in the memo for Derrick Henry and mail the check to 96135 Nassau Place, Suite 1, Yulee, FL. Cash payments can also be made at this location or you can make a payment online.
