A new year promises to bring lots of new development to Jacksonville’s Urban Core.
Bill Delaney of The Jaxson tells WJCT News Director Jessica Palombo about some of the major projects on the horizon.
The Shipyards/Metropolitan Park Development
In July 2017, Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping took Mayor Lenny Curry and Chief Administrative Officer Sam Mousa on a cross-country trip to tour mixed-use entertainment projects adjacent to sports facilities by the Cordish Companies. At the time, Lamping stated that "They're one of the developers that are interested in helping us." In early December, Mayor Curry went as far as to hint about a possible entertainment district coming soon to downtown. That's after Khan's company was selected to transform the former Shipyards property along the St. Johns River.
