The Jacksonville City Council unanimously approved a development in rural Northwest Jacksonville that’s promising to bring as many as 3,000 housing units, commercial opportunities and recreation.
The nearly 1,500-acre parcel between Acree, Plummer and Old Kings roads is surrounded by conservation areas and a mitigation bank.
Local developer Corner Lot owns the property. The agreement with the city requires developers to preserve wetlands, but environmental activists say the area should be protected.

Jax Area Legal Aid
Having clear title to one’s home is often crucial to saving it, whether the threat is from potential foreclosure or a natural disaster. That’s because without a clear title, the homeowner can’t negotiate with lenders or access federal aid, including disaster relief from the Federal Emergency Management Agency or housing assistance through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Jacksonville Area Legal Aid helps families avoid a potential foreclosure and access federal aid after a loved one passes away by helping them clear title through probate. Many people with lower incomes don’t realize they need this help.
Guest: Carol Miller, attorney with Jacksonville Area Legal Aid.
