Old Brick Township to include conservation, industry By AARON LONDON Staff Writer
A stretch of road in western Flagler County that was part of Florida's first great land-buying flurry of the 20th century could play that role again.
A stretch of road in western Flagler County that was part of Florida's first great land-buying flurry of the 20th century could play that role again.
That is, if a developer's plans meet with approval.
Jacksonville Beach-based Fletcher Management Co. is preparing plans to develop 5,200 acres in northwest Flagler County called Old Brick Township, including 5,000 residential units and 1 million square feet of industrial space.
Because the project is so large, it must go through the state's multi-tiered development of regional impact process. The first step was taken Dec. 14 with a pre-application process in Flagler County conducted by the Northeast Florida Regional Council.
The property is west of U.S. 1 and along the border between Flagler and St. Johns counties. The western side of the project abuts Old Brick Road, part of an historic road that once stretched from Michigan to Miami, and developers say they want to help preserve and restore the road, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
