City Of Jacksonville permits CNG fuel facility for Waste Management

July 26, 2021. The city issued a permit July 23 for a CNG fuel facility at Waste Management Inc. of Florida’s planned maintenance project at 6876 Greenland Industrial Blvd. in Greenland Business Park.

Onsite Electrical Service Inc. of Davie will build the CNG fueling facility, including a compressor compound and time-fill fueling stalls, at a cost of $850,000. The city also has been reviewing permit applications for North Coast Construction Co. of St. Augustine to build an office and truck maintenance building at the site at a combined cost of $3.39 million.  Including the CNG facility, the cost is $4.24 million.  CMK Design Studio Inc. of St. Petersburg is the architect. The facility is planned on 11.8 vacant acres.

District City Council member Danny Becton said July 6 the property is appropriately zoned for those uses. Becton said the site is adjacent to the property that Waste Pro, not Waste Management, identified for rezoning for a garbage transfer station, which nearby residential neighbors oppose.
