Alford Farms Timeline in East Palatka, FL (Project Timeline Explained)
This page organizes the Alford Farms development timeline into one place using public records, county approvals, and documented permit activity. It is designed for people who want the clearest sequence of what has happened so far.
The project has a confirmed county rezoning timeline, followed by later engineering and permit-related activity. At the same time, not every later-stage development step has been confirmed in the public record reviewed for this page.
If you want the full project overview, buyer-focused questions, and ongoing updates, you can visit the full Alford Farms overview page or sign up for updates below.
The entries below are ordered chronologically and limited to what is supported by the public records and project materials reviewed for this page.
2024
June 12, 2024: Putnam County Planning Commission reviewed PUD24-000004 and recommended approval by a 5–2 vote.
July 23, 2024: Putnam County BOCC held the first reading and voted 4–1 to move the matter to a second hearing.
August 13, 2024: Putnam County BOCC approved the rezoning under Ordinance 2024-017 by a 4–1 vote.
August 29, 2024: SJRWMD permit application for Alford Farms was received.
2025 and Later Record Activity
February 20, 2025: SJRWMD issued a Request for Additional Information (RAI), showing the permit review remained active.
June 2025: SJRWMD correspondence indicates the applicant’s response was treated as a partial RAI response, meaning additional documentation was still needed.
September 2025: Later engineering materials referenced a 559-lot layout as part of the permitting and engineering phase.
March 2026: Based on the records reviewed for this page, final plat recording and several later-stage buyer-facing milestones remain unconfirmed.
Important note: The rezoning timeline is clearly documented. Later development activity is also documented in the permit and engineering record. That does not automatically confirm final plat recording, final permit issuance, or active construction.
What the Timeline Means
For buyers, residents, and anyone tracking the project, the timeline shows that Alford Farms moved from local rezoning review into later development and permitting work. That makes it more than just a concept-only proposal.
What the Early Timeline Confirms
The project went through the county rezoning process
Planning Commission and BOCC action are both documented
The rezoning was approved in August 2024
The project entered later permit-related review after county approval
What the Later Timeline Suggests
The project continued moving through engineering and environmental review
The layout and technical details evolved after rezoning
Development work appears to be progressing in record form, but not every final step is yet confirmed
Confirmed vs Pending Timeline Items
Confirmed in the Record
Planning Commission review on June 12, 2024
BOCC first-reading action on July 23, 2024
BOCC approval on August 13, 2024
SJRWMD application received on August 29, 2024
RAI activity in 2025
Later engineering references to a 559-lot layout
Not Confirmed by the Timeline Alone
Final recorded plat
Final lot count
Final permit closeout
Official builder pricing
Public sales launch date
Confirmed active construction status
Why this matters: A lot of public confusion happens when people collapse all development stages into one idea of “approved” or “coming soon.” The timeline helps separate what has actually happened from what people may assume is already complete.
