2014 Comprehensive Plan Amendments

OHPA Master Plan Update

The City's current Comprehensive Plan states that "the primary purpose of the Port Master Plan is to clearly define the Port's direction for the future." At present, the Nassau County Ocean Highway and Port Authority (OHPA) is in the process of modifying its Master Plan to comply with Florida Law requirements to prepare a 10-year update. The Port can achieve its goals only though coordination with local government, business, industry, and the general citizenry's support of the policies and plans outlined in its Master Plan. For more information on Florida's statutory requirements for deepwater ports please visit the Department of Economic Opportunity Website.
