The sources provide a comprehensive overview of the St. Johns County 2026 Legislative Action Plan (LAP), which was unanimously approved by the Board of County Commissioners to define top state and federal priorities. This plan focuses on four key policy areas: transportation infrastructure, including the widening of State Road 16 and improvements to I-95 interchanges; community resilience, such as flood control projects and securing funding for public safety facilities; agriculture and conservation, advocating for aquifer recharge projects and preserving working lands; and government operations, including support for the Florida Museum of Black History and opposition to unfunded mandates. The plan's adoption signals the start of coordination efforts with legislative and regional partners, culminating in a dedicated Legislative Day in Tallahassee on February 5, 2026, intended to showcase the county's value and advocate for its legislative agenda.
