The Jacksonville Landing

Supporters of what’s known as “adaptive reuse” say the city is acting recklessly by demolishing buildings without a plan for what will go in their place. A petition drive is  now underway to keep the Jacksonville Landing in place and repurpose it into something else, rather than demolish it. Steve Williams, CEO of Harbringer Sign; and Rob Zinn, Principal Architect, the Office of Architecture and Design joined us with more.
