City Council will review a resolution that would authorize a $260,000 city-backed tax incentive for an undisclosed national pharmaceutical and medical device distributor.
City Council President Tommy Hazouri filed the resolution Jan. 20 with Council at the request of Mayor Lenny Curry, according to WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record.
It is scheduled to be introduced for first reading at the Jan. 26 Council meeting.
Resolution 2021-0063 supports code-named Project Robalo. Documents with the bill say the company is considering leasing 131,000 square feet of a newly developed warehouse in Northwest Jacksonville for its Southeastern U.S. distribution center. It would invest $6.72 million and create 25 full-time jobs by year-end 2023.
Dublin, Ohio-based medical supplies distributor Sarnova matches the description of Robalo.
Sarnova is shown on a Park 295 Industrial Park brochure as a new tenant in the industrial center at southwest Interstate 295 and Duval Road in Northwest Jacksonville.
