The county is dealing with traffic issues and overcrowded schools, and everyone agrees something needs to be done.
Residents, builders and commissioners all got the chance to say what changes they would like to see in the coming years Tuesday morning in St. Augustine during a growth management workshop.“Density and higher-density projects allows to help reduce costs. It lowers the risk of urban sprawl that we’re seeing.
“There’s got to be a partnership that creates affordable housing. It’s government regulations, it’s builders, the developers and it’s banks. And if all three don’t pitch in together, it’s really not going to grow,” said Bill Lazar, director of the St. Johns Housing Partnership. Commissioner Henry Dean made it a point to note that the commission voted down three new housing developments in the last seven weeks.
Dean said the commissioners are taking the suggestions seriously and looking at possibly making changes.
