‘It’s an insult to every resident’: St. Johns County’s long-term development plan rejected by state

Action News Jax now has a letter sent from the Florida Department of Commerce late last week to the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners, rejecting the county’s “2050 comprehensive plan.”

The plan is St. Johns County’s roadmap for development and growth over the next 25 years. It covers everything from managing new developments to improving the roads and planning sites for new schools to go up.

Commissioner Ann Taylor has only been in office for less than a year, but tells Action News Jax that years of work went into creating the more than 200-page plan.

“It’s an insult to every resident in this county,” Taylor said, “to just have it come back and be denied is really devastating.”

They vote Republican. They have a problem with what people like Ron DeSanctimonius do. They complain. They vote for someone similar next time. These people lie. That's what they aren't understanding apparently. Many of them are liars.
