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. With Rayonier's donation, the County now has $10,685 raised for this project.
