At the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners meeting on Sept. 5, the new infrastructure delivery team presented an update on selected capital projects among the 195 projects either being designed or already under construction totaling more than $504 million in infrastructure improvements for the St. Johns County community.
Led by Interim Assistant County Administrator Colin Groff, the infrastructure delivery team is taking a more cohesive, innovative approach to completing capital improvement projects. The team includes the Office of Management and Budget, Land Management, Procurement, Growth Management and Public Works.
“This new team will implement cross-functional team concepts to breakdown silos and build collaboration,” Groff said. “We will encourage and reward innovative ideas from both our own staff and the consultants we hire. This team will be the catalyst to complete projects on time and hopefully under budget in St. Johns County.”
The county has 75 capital projects in design that total nearly $103 million and another 120 capital projects under construction that total more than $401 million. The highlighted projects included a Countywide Signal Optimization Study, the Hastings Community Center and Library as well as Mill Creek Regional Park and the widening of County Road 210 East. Project details that are available for bid solicitation and request for proposal are on the county’s Demand Star online platform.

“We plan to present an update of critical projects every month which will highlight three or four projects,” Groff said. “The goal is to communicate to the public important project milestones, the progress we are making on projects and what is being built by St. Johns County to improve their quality of life.”
