Item Title:Land Swap Update
Date:1/25/2022
Department:County Manager
Background:

The Board of  County Commissioners and the Nassau County School Board held joint meetings in January and June of 2021.  The County expressed the need for Right of Way acquisition of approximately eight (8) acres needed to complete the William Burgess Blvd. Extension project.  The eight acres is owned by the School District and is located south of Yulee High School and Yulee Middle School.

 

The School Board has expressed the need for land in District 2 within the Nassauville area to build a new school to serve additional students.  The County owns a 12.248 acre parcel near the Hatton Road/Amelia Concourse area within Nassauville that has been identified as a strategically placed school site. 

 

Appraisals of the School District’s parcel and the County’s parcel have been completed.  The 12.248 acre parcel owned by the County was appraised at $373,500, and the eight acre parcel owned by the School Board was appraised for $340,000. Subject to Florida Statute 125.37, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners and the School Board approve their respective staff to perform a “land swap” in order to complete each project on behalf of Nassau County citizens. 

 

On Monday, January 10, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved staff to move forward with the proposed land swap subject to School Board approval.
