FAQ
Will any of the buildings be high-rises?
We are not planning to have any buildings higher than the current 54-foot height restriction at Jekyll. We believe that buildings at Jekyll should be built to conform to the architectural traditions of the island.
Will the campgrounds be upgraded or improved as part of the revitalization effort?
We have no immediate plans for upgrades of this kind, but we certainly want to make improvements to all areas of the island so as to ensure that all visitors have an enjoyable stay on the island. We hope to address ideas for these kinds of improvements over the next several months.
I am a vendor. Where can I submit my company’s information for consideration?
You may submit vendor information to Debbie Johnson at djohnson@reynoldsplantation.com. Debbie is assistant to Mike Kelly, the senior development executive responsible for planning and construction activities at Jekyll Island.
