Attorney behind withdrawn Clay County ag enclave application also fighting St. Johns County in court

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – An application to develop agricultural land in Clay County has been withdrawn, but it may be an early sign of things to come. The application sought to use Florida’s agricultural enclave law — Senate Bill 686 — to develop around 33 acres along Knowles Road.

Flagler County Considering Special Taxing District for Sheriff’s Budget to Counter Amendment 3 Funding Drop

The Flagler County Commission is discussing the creation of a special taxing district to pay for policing countywide and prevent a cratering of revenue for law enforcement and the county jail. It would still be a property tax. But it would be its own line item, similar to the property tax in place now for Flagler County’s Environmentally Sensitive Land program.

This Private Florida College Was Once A Gilded Age Hotel, And The Campus Still Steals The Show

Students eat their meals under Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows. That’s an ordinary weekday lunch at this school, and I still can’t quite believe it. The main building opened in 1888 as one of the fanciest hotels in America. Oil tycoon Henry Flagler built it, and it ranked among the first major buildings made of poured concrete. It also had electric lights from day one, powered by four Edison direct-current dynamos in the hotel’s own electrical plant.

El Niño could mean higher chance of tornadoes in Volusia, Flagler

A tornado outbreak is not something Central Florida residents see very often, which is why most remember the ones that tore through the area in the winter of 1998. Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties saw F2 and F3 tornadoes that lead to a few dozen fatalities across the area in February of that year. One of those fatalities was recorded in Volusia County near DeLand. Part of the reason for that event was an unusually strong El Niño, putting Florida on the path of severe weather patterns that typically dodge the Sunshine State. With another strong El Niño forecast for this winter, is there a chance that Central Florida, including Volusia and Flagler counties, will see a similar event? 1998 tornadoes: Though uncommon, some Florida tornadoes have proven deadly. Here are a few. Here’s what meteorologists are saying. What is a strong El Niño and how does it change Florida’s winter weather? Florida’s dry season, which runs between November and April, results when the subtropical jet stream typically moves above the Sunshine State as it moves from west to east. “The jet stream is a fast-moving channel of air further aloft in the atmosphere, and that jet stream increases

Native American Heritage Month in St. Augustine: History & Sites

It is easy to experience St. Augustine through its Spanish history. The Castillo, old streets, and mission sites dominate the city, while the Indigenous history associated with those same places can be much harder to spot. Spanish records mention Native communities throughout the colonial era, but archaeology preserves evidence that reaches much further back. That evidence has helped researchers identify settlements, burial practices, and other traces of Native life in the St. Augustine area.
