In March **2007**, local officials, law enforcement and dignitaries celebrated the opening of the Nocatee Parkway, a roadway that stretches from the Intracoastal Waterways to U.S. 1 and serves as the main thoroughfare through the coastal community of neighborhoods.

Jacksonville and St. Johns County Sheriff’s Offices took part in a ceremonial road-opening event to commemorate the new roadway.  PARC Group Founder & Chairman, [Roger O’Steen](https://www.parcgroup.net/), stated to the press, “Nocatee Parkway improves transportation for both Nocatee and Ponte Vedra Beach areas.”
