The City of Fernandina Beach is considering a plan to address inadequate and outdated building density patterns along the waterfront and in the surrounding district. This area currently has mixed uses with few buffers between industrial and residential zones, and lacks pedestrian and bicycle usability, including sidewalks. The proposal aims to improve these conditions to create a more compatible and functional district. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the project would likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, road and sidewalk construction, and potentially new building construction. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the city and potential developers to understand future needs and position themselves for upcoming work before plans and permits are finalized.
