JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On Tuesday, Jacksonville residents learned more about possible developments at the shipyard site, a new Four Seasons hotel near Metro Park and what is going to take the place of the Jacksonville Landing and other downtown projects along the St. Johns River.
The Downtown Investment Authority (DIA) heard from many of the key players during a meeting, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, about the future of the riverfront projects.
AdThe Jaguars plan is to use a portion of Metro Park where Kids Kampus used to be located.
But that is creating somewhat of a rift because some are saying no part of Metro Park should be used for private development.
Ad“The real question here is can moving it be better for the public?” said DIA CEO Lori Boyer.
