FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. – Two environmental groups have filed a complaint against the Fernandina Beach City Commission over its approval of the Amelia Bluff development project.

Last month, the commission gave the green light to developers to build homes on a 7-acre tract of land near Egans Creek. Several meetings were packed with residents voicing their opposition.
