A St. Johns County workforce housing project was denied. What’s available for the growing community?

St. Johns County denied a workforce housing rezoning on Tuesday as the housing remains a need for hospitality workers, first responders, teachers and others who struggle to afford living in the area. A recent proposal for nearly 60 townhomes on Pacetti Road in the World Golf Village area was denied by the county commission, following a similar rejection of a project on County Road 208 just weeks earlier. The proposed development included 30% of developments being workforce housing units, priced no more than $275,000, aimed at providing affordable options for local workers.
