Two city events next week will focus on Downtown riverfront development and improving Jacksonville’s urban core.
Downtown
On Feb. 22, Mayor Lenny Curry will have a public discussion with corporate leaders and public officials with a “vested interest in Downtown Jacksonville.”
The 9 a.m. meeting in Multi-purpose Room 1 at the Jacksonville Main Library is open to the public.
In addition to Curry, it will be attended by:
• The Vestcor Companies Chairman John Rood. The homebuilder has been increasing its Downtown multifamily housing portfolio since 2007 and opened its 133-unit workforce housing community Lofts at Brooklyn on Feb. 11.
• Fidelity National Information Services Inc. Chairman and CEO Gary Norcross. The Jacksonville-based, global financial technology firm is building a 12-story, $156 million world headquarters in Brooklyn.
