About this listen

Jacksonville Today associate editor Mike Mendenhall welcomes St. Johns County reporter Noah Hertz back to lay out the stories he’ll be tracking in 2026. Noah explains how years of explosive population growth are driving nonstop spending on roads, libraries, and fire stations—and intensifying fights on an all‑Republican County Commission now split over how much new housing to allow. He also flags upcoming commission races where “ghost candidates” could reappear, and why state‑level debates in Tallahassee about development rules and a proposed State Black History Museum in St. Johns could reshape his beat. Read Noah’s latest reporting at jaxtoday.org.
