The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce lists Myers on its Board of Trustees.

By my count, on this "sample" page, it appears no less than 11 of 17 (not counting the bankers) have connections, direct or indirect, to development in the area.  Is there any wonder why we get urban sprawl and projects like the Outer Beltway?

REGIONAL ROOTS-yet another "face' of the beltway to now appear.

The connection to the Clay Chamber at times comical to those in the know.....like a CARL Hiaasen novel.

Tracking land ownership via Official Book & Page and connecting to other narratives and events is telling too.
And sometimes the county land maps depict clear images.One of my favorites is Clay County Official Record Book & Page 557-539 and 574-27.Here we see these two parcels joined at what would be the centerline of the ill fated proposed westward extension of Kingsley Avenue/S-228A per Clay County Resolution of April 27,1982.

The blind trusts are more challenging.

A SOLUTION WOULD BE TRAFFIC CONTROL!

GOB Network is far reaching and insidious! Tell tales such as Tax's and Land Ownership refute just what the public lip service is paid. Developers are in business to make money by developing, plain and simple, most have no long range point of view that is for the public good but a view of what can put the most money in their pockets! I can not fault them but I can help control them! I think that any developer should be required to submit plans which would show just how their development would dovetail into ex sisting infrastructure 20 years from conception! How would their development affect that area 30 yrs down range! Are the existing roads sufficient, water, power and sewer...........is there adequate fire protection........I have no problem with expansion but do with unbridled uncontrolled expansion! Build a road and poof.......newest high faluting named community!
