The development plan includes 2,500 homes, a community farm, commercial and retail spaces, industrial development, and a proposed flyover to redirect truck traffic away from downtown. At a Thursday night workshop at the Baker County School Board, developers presented their vision to a large audience, emphasizing the project’s potential to create jobs and improve infrastructure. The commercial and retail centers are projected to bring 1,500 jobs, while the industrial zone could generate 5,000 jobs. Macclenny Mayor Mark Bryant acknowledged the need for growth but emphasized the importance of careful planning. “People need places to live. People need places to work,” Bryant said. “But I don’t want communities where you can jump from rooftop to rooftop... and I don’t want to see us financially overwhelmed.” Residents expressed concerns about the potential loss of Macclenny’s small-town charm and the strain on local resources. One woman compared the situation to her husband’s hometown in Texas, which grew into a suburb of Houston. “I hear the stories of how it used to be. It is not a charming small town. It is a suburb of Houston, and it’s just a very tragic loss,” she said. Former city commissioner Phil Rhoden voiced support for growth but urged caution. “Hopefully, they’re going to be amenable to compromising on the density. The city of Macclenny right now is 7,000 people. A buildout like this will be approximately 10,000 people. We can’t take that at one shot,” Rhoden said. Thursday’s workshop was the first step in the planning process. The next step will involve the developers presenting their proposal at a regular city commission meeting, according to Bryant.

Macclenny city officials and the public are invited to learn about the preliminary plans for some 2000-plus acres of LaBuena Farms-owned property east of the City of Macclenny between US 90 and the interstate that could be up for annexation into the city limits in the near future To that end, development consultants with England-Thims & Miller (ETM) will be hosting a workshop with Maccenny city commissioners and open to the public on January 9 at 6 p.m. They’re expected to discuss potential plans of developer Richard Schulz who is interested in building a mixed-used residential and industrial development with thousands of new homes and the businesses and infrastructure to serve them drainage- and road-related construction work that would be necessary City manager Mike Griffis said this week the developer intends to construct an access roadway from on SR 228 South near the Walmart Supercenter that would run north and east through the LaBuena Farms property And because the city does not presently have enough water and sewer system capacity to service such a large-scale development he said the developer would need to fund capacity increases at the city’s water and wastewater treatment plants (or build new ones) in addition to running water and sewer lines for the new development and connecting them to the existing city distribution systems The access road could connect to the state-funded portion of Midpoint Parkway now in the design and permitting stage in partnership with the county and its engineers It’s proposed to begin at US 90 near the Walmart Distribution Center and run southeast towards the city The state is funding some $3 million of the cost for the northeastern portion of Midpoint Parkway including a flyover above railroad tracks but the county had to purchase air rights to accommodate the span from the railroad company The Schulco development would be the largest proposed in the county since a South Florida real estate developer eyed thousands of acres north of Glen St Mary in the mid-2000s before the housing market crash and Great Recession of 2008 killed the plans While no decisions are expected during the January 9 workshop residents and commissioners will have an opportunity to learn more about the developer’s plans and ask questions of the consultants with ETM Already registered?
