Huge development project on St. Johns county line has died

[thelakelander]

The massive Mariposa development project on the St. Johns-Putnam county line apparently has fallen through, say county officials.

“It appears that (Ascot Development) is withdrawing its application, and then the Board of County Commissioners in Putnam County will rescind the comprehensive plan amendments. The land will stay what it currently is, and it will stay that in the future,” St. Johns County Board of Commissioners Chairman Tom Manuel said Tuesday.

The “nutshell translation” said Interlachen attorney Michael Woodward is “they’re going to throw in the towel.”

Great news.  The housing market slowdown may pose a great opportunity for this area to rethink it's development methods and push for smarter growth before we end up like South and Central Florida.
