Jacksonville, FL (February 8, 2022) – After eighteen years in the making, Council Member Becton’s introduction of Ordinance 2021-838 establishing the Baymeadows Community Improvement District (BCID) was finally adopted by City Council. The purpose and need of the BCID stems from issues involving this previous golf course community off Baymeadows Road to have a single entity responsible and able to manage its publicly-used private roads, stormwater, and drainage systems that are not city-owned or city-maintained.

“The history of this community, going back to the closure in 2005 of the old golf-course, has seen its public infrastructure, including roads, stormwater, and drainage systems fail and deteriorate; at times public safety was a major concern,” Council Member Becton explained. “The fact is that all of these issues are in everyone’s best interest to have the ability to improve and maintain them in perpetuity,” Council Member Becton added. “Having a single entity, like the BCID, can help protect property values, improve the quality of life, prevent crime, and reduce neighborhood decline due to assuring that these community assets are functioning properly and will be maintained.”
