In response to renewed priorities and appeals from the community, county leaders, in collaboration with the American Beach community and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), formulated a financing plan which would bring maximum external State funding to the project thus reducing local cost. The purpose of the infrastructure committee was to meet with the County and discuss getting water and sewage finally on American Beach … we met with the County and indicated at that point in time that we were aware that assessments would be done so that the residents or property owners would pay for the water and sewage and we made it clear that we understood that.” His Honor further addressed recent media publications stating, “I read the article, and got the impression that it was being suggested that the County kind of just dumped this assessment on the property owners. “Sometime in 2010… the President of the property owner’s association appointed an infrastructure committee. His Honor provided a perspective and context for the Advisory Board to consider. The Honorable Judge Henry Adams addressed the American Beach Advisory Board at their Februmeeting. At the Advisory Board meeting on February 10, 2022, longtime residents the Honorable Judge Henry Adams and Reverend Carlton Jones provided an excellent chronology of the long “journey”, going back to the 1990’s, to get this public health and safety infrastructure to American Beach. Water and sewer infrastructure has been a high community interest for decades.
īringing strong, dedicated attention and action to a community infrastructure priority after decades of floundering and inaction. The meeting can be located on the Clerk of Courts official website. We encourage interested parties to watch the Februmeeting of the American Beach Water & Sewer Advisory Board, where long-time residents of American Beach shared their accounts of the efforts that have being ongoing for many years, as well as their appreciation to the Board of County Commissioners for its partnership with the American Beach property owners. Nassau County and the American Beach community have been collaboratively pursuing installation of public water and sewer infrastructure in the historic community for several years.
This statement is written in response to recent media releases related to American Beach in Nassau County, Florida.
