 'Give the Gift' of Local
From November 17th-December 31st, we're celebrating small, local businesses and promoting our 'Give the Gift' of Local campaign. The Nassau County Chamber of Commerce is encouraging every person in our community to support friends and neighbors by shopping, dining, and exploring local. Local Businesses are a Big Deal to Nassau County Small, local businesses made up over 60% of all new jobs this year, but consistently face challenges from rising costs to filling vacancies and everything in between. On average, $68 of every $100 spent locally stays in our community. Shopping small can make a big difference, so join us and pledge to support local this holiday season. Simply print out the shop local pledge, take a photo of you holding the sign and/or take a selfie holding it, and share on social media. If we all make the pledge to shop small, imagine the difference we can make to our local economy! If you're a small business owner, we'd like to help you be a part of the 'Give the Gift' of Local campaign:
FERNANDINA BEACH, FL (November 11, 2022) – For the 8th year in a row, Charity Navigator has recognized Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation with its Four-Star Rating.
Charity Navigator, launched in 2001, is a leading nonprofit assessment organization that evaluates charitable organizations in the United States. Its stated mission is “to make impactful giving easier for all.” They rate over 200,000 charities annually and help to highlight the cost-effectiveness and overall health of a charity’s programs, stability, efficiency, and sustainability. In addition to the top four-star rating and “give with confidence” seal, Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation is among the select few organizations to achieve a perfect 100-percent rating for both Accountability & Finance as well as Leadership & Adaptability. These scores are based on the independent analysis of a charity’s financial accountability, transparency, and how the funds it receives are used. Our administrative and fundraising costs are lean, which means donations to the Foundation directly support the outstanding programs offered to our members at three local Clubs here in Nassau County. To learn more about the ratings and metrics please visit charitynavigator.org and for more information on Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County please visit bgcnassau.org.

(Oct. 31, 2022) – GreenPointe Developers, members of the Nassau County Board of Commissioners and other Nassau County leaders recently celebrated the Phase One completion of Tributary Park with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. The new regional park, which will open to the public on Nov. 1, 2022, is located adjacent to GreenPointe’s master-planned community of Tributary. “As a developer, this is one of those special moments where you see a community come to life and see people enjoying a place that was once only a dream,” said Ed Burr, President and CEO, GreenPointe Holdings. “At GreenPointe, we are committed to making our communities a special place to live while enhancing the overall community, and there is no better example of that than Tributary Park.” Tributary Park is located on Edwards Road, just west of I-95, and is a result of a public-private partnership between GreenPointe Developers and the Board of County Commissioners. GreenPointe donated more than 40 acres to Nassau County for conversion into a regional park available for all Nassau County residents to enjoy. “Seeing a new park open up in our community is a dream come true,” said Jay Robertson, Nassau County Parks and Recreation Director. ‘I am certain that Tributary residents and all of their Nassau County neighbors will enjoy this beautiful new park,” Tributary Park Phase One consists of new a playground, two baseball fields, a batting cage, two multi-use fields, a walking trail, a concession stand, and restroom facility.
