JBPro

This past month, JBPro presented to the City of Palm Coast City Council on the findings of our Housing Needs Assessment (HNA), a document that assesses the existing residential conditions citywide and devises strategies to meet projected needs for all populations, especially those considered most vulnerable.

This HNA report serves as a way to understand barriers to development, identify potential development locations, and align with the community vision to ensure the City is able to improve housing availability, support economic stability, and maintain quality of life. To properly understand Palm Coast's current situation, our planning team analyzed a variety of resources such as housing inventory, vacant lot characteristics, demographic data, and development patterns.

JBPro is proud to support projects that help cities make informed decisions and implement actionable strategies to tackle housing affordability concerns in a time of rising costs and limited housing options.

City Hall Plaza in Gainesville gets a fresh new look! 🌳

This past Friday, the City of Gainesville celebrated the official opening of the newly redesigned and renovated City Hall Plaza.

With the goal of creating an inclusive and accessible civic community space for the City of Gainesville, JBPro helped to design various site, landscaping, and stormwater improvements to City Hall Plaza. The revitalized space now includes more seating, lighting upgrades, ADA improvements, and new stunning landscaping throughout the space. Our team also helped to design new seating and ADA accessible entrances to the existing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hall of Fame Garden and the Sister Cities Monument Garden.

We're happy to have partnered with Scherer Construction and see the space truly come to life.

Construction is progressing along at Turkey Creek Preserve!

Recently, the construction crew began setting the composite piles that will support a new wildlife observation platform. Additionally, heavy-duty mats are being used to protect the sensitive wetland ground from excessive compaction and rutting.

We’re excited to see this project take shape and help improve access to one of our area’s beautiful natural spaces.

And of course, we met a few friends along the way 😉

Congrats, Tara! 🎉
