Last Open House for Timber to Tides SR200/A1A Corridor Design Study
Don't miss the last open house event for the Timber to Tides SR200/A1A Corridor Design Study on Monday, August 19, 2019 from 6:00-8:00 P.M. in the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners Chambers. This event is intended to be convenient for residents living from Amelia Concourse to the Shave Bridge, but it is open to all. Envisioned as the Timber to Tides Trail, the goals of the study are to transform SR 200/A1A into a place that functions not just as a major roadway, but a place that provides different opportunities for living and working, and creates a sense of place in Nassau County based on our community’s history, character, and quality of life. Please join the County at this open house event to learn more about the project and share your opinions on the future of the corridor. ​
