09:40 PM EST Share Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping, MOSH representatives and DIA CEO Lori Boyer gave presentations on their plans for public and private waterfront projects.
Jacksonville public officials held a public workshop Feb. 23 with Downtown stakeholders to respond to public criticism that there’s a lack of planning for the St. Johns riverfront.
In a presentation at the Jacksonville Main Library, Downtown Investment Authority CEO Lori Boyer used the agency’s Downtown Jacksonville Conceptual 2025 Redevelopment Master Plan to show how she sees proposed riverfront private and public space development being planned to complement each other.
“In recent months we have repeatedly heard from members of the public and in the media that there is no master plan for Downtown and we are simply looking at projects piecemeal,” Boyer said. “In fact there is.”
The Downtown Development Review Board voted 8-0 to advance the estimated $70.4 million plan to renovate the historic Downtown structures into hotel and retail space.
Share The estimated $70.4 million project will redevelop the historic buildings into a hotel with restaurant and retail spaces.
