While a couple of large Jacksonville companies entered 2021 with initial public offerings pending, several smaller firms also filed plans for stock sales late last year.
The latest is a company called Van Zant House Inc., owner of a Westside Jacksonville property where brothers Ronnie, Johnny and Donnie Van Zant grew up.
It’s an iconic site for Southern Rock music fans. Ronnie was a founder and lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, who died with five others in 1977 when the band’s plane crashed in Mississippi.
When the band reformed 10 years later, his younger brother Johnny took over as lead singer.
