Jack Wright Island conservation properties

The county may buy 8.35 acres of high-quality forested wetlands next to its existing 262-acre Jack Wright Island Conservation Area, expanding a protected corridor along the St. Johns River. The catch: the asking price is far above appraised value, and the county only pays appraised value.
