GREEN COVE SPRINGS - The Board of County Commissioners held its first public hearing of an adopted budget and millage rate at Tuesday afternoon‘s meeting.
For the fiscal year 2024 to 2025, the tentative millage rate is set for 8.3766. This is more than the current rolled-back rate of 7.8790 mills by 6.32%.
The Board members reassured the public that this mileage rate has no increase in ad valorem taxes.
This fiscal year’s tentative adopted budget was also set at $819,013,037.
In other business, Clay County Parks and Recreation presented a study on the progress of the future Veterans Park. Currently on phase one of the project, a feasibility study and site evaluation were conducted.
With 641 acres of land, the new park will be maintained as a public park for recreational purposes.
Of the many key findings, a significant one determined that there will need to be improvements to Spencer Grade Road for public vehicle access.
Currently the park allows for hike-in/ride-in only. The county is continuing coordination with Jennings State Forest to determine a potential timeframe and funding for this project.
Parks and Recreation will report back to the board with more information regarding the park at a later date.
