Land Acquisition Management Program - Sep 8, 2026

A pre-application for a 10.29-acre landlocked, 100% wetland property already under a recorded conservation easement. Staff recommended against pursuing it, and no board member made a motion, so it won't advance.

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.
