The St. Johns River Water Management District will hold a series of public meetings to discuss a land assessment process currently under way to evaluate District-owned property to examine the need for conservation purposes. The evaluation will determine if any properties, or portions of these tracts, should be identified as surplus lands, or if portions of any properties should be considered for alternative uses. An evaluation matrix will be used to rank properties on their resource values, such as floodplains, strategic habitat, corridors and natural communities. The properties also are being examined for their use as project sites, for recreation/public use and for their manageability. Public input on the land assessment process will be welcomed at the meetings. All interested persons are invited to attend. NOTE: One or more District Governing Board members may attend the meetings and participate in the discussions.
