City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The City of Fernandina Beach is reviewing conditions within a proposed district that are described as unsanitary and unsafe, contributing to economic decline and unrealized development potential. The area, particularly along the waterfront and Front Street, includes obsolete industrial buildings and older pier structures. The district also suffers from industrial debris, a lack of safe pedestrian and bicycle passageways, and illegal dumping on vacant lots. Specifically, residential streets lack sidewalks and street lighting, and some roads are unpaved. This review is currently planned, indicating an early stage in the public process. The project would likely involve site clearing and grading, demolition of obsolete structures, extensive underground utility work, stormwater management, road and sidewalk paving, street lighting installation, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the scope and potential phases of this revitalization effort before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
