Officials say the increase will fund a new jail and sheriff’s office, money for an animal control facility, parks, and joint development’s request for more money.
Action News Jax told you in July that neighbors in Camden County said there has been an issue with stray animals and at that time, the county said one of its goals was to build a new animal control facility.
