HASTINGS SENTIMENT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Your input is requested to help the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners better understand how people who live in Hastings and nearby areas feel about economic development. The Board wants to know how residents prioritize economic development relative to other community issues and would like to know what general direction that residents believe potential economic development should take. All of the information gathered in this process will be compiled and analyzed, with findings presented at a regularly scheduled meeting of the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners.
AREA DESCRIPTION
This process is focused on the formerly incorporated town of Hastings, which was founded in 1890 as an agricultural production center. Hastings and the surrounding area is a special part of St. Johns County, providing vital food production, open space, and historical significance. Area residents are the backbone of St. Johns County culture and serve an outsized role in making this County the great place that it is. The maps and data provided below are for the Hastings Census Designated Place, which is the statistical area that best represents the former town of Hastings.
