Downtown Vision is hosting the first “First Wednesday Art Walk” of the year, welcoming people to downtown Jacksonville, and celebrating the city’s creative talent. The event happens on Downtown’s Northbank core all the way to James Weldon Johnson Park.

It will take months before the city reviews the deal for the new stadium, but on Tuesday, the council will discuss an ordinance to extend the city’s consultant contract for one more year.

While warming up to the Village People singing “YMCA,” hundreds of people of all ages and races gathered outside of the Winston Family YMCA on Jacksonville’s Northbank Sunday afternoon to celebrate unity in the aptly named Unity Village before the start of the “Racing Against Hate 5k Run/Walk.”

On Tuesday night’s City Council agenda is a proposal that would move the Museum of Science and History from its longtime home on Jacksonville’s Southbank to a new home on the Northbank that is yet to be built.

Some work is underway on the Shipyards project, which involves a new hotel and office building on Jacksonville’s Northbank, but costs have gone up, and all indications are the deal that the Jaguars have with the city is about to change again.

The USS Orleck is starting to become a downtown destination, but it might have worn out its welcome at its current spot.

Here's a look at some of the projects along Jacksonville's Northbank and Southbank.

This weekend, flags for Governor Ron DeSantis were up, and some people are asking, 'Can political flags be posted on a ship that’s run by a non-profit?'

The USS Orleck has been docked on the Northbank since the end of March, and visitors will soon have a chance to experience what life was like on board.

The Museum of Science & History (MOSH) today released exterior renderings for its new Museum on the Northbank, created by DLR Group in partnership with kasper architects + associates and SCAPE.

Downtown has a different look now that the Jacksonville Fire Museum and the USS Orleck are along the St. Johns River, but it’s going to be a while before either open to the public.

After multiple delays, the new date picked for the implosion of Berkman II has been scrapped once again.

After multiple delays, a new date has been picked for the implosion of Berkman II.

It looks like Jacksonville’s iconic eyesore will survive another month.

We are getting a different view of what will be built on the Shipyards site.

Plans to blow up the Berkman II were set for Sunday, Oct.16, but that is now delayed. It may not happen until next month or even December.

We should learn Wednesday if the proposed Shipyard project on the Northbank will move ahead.

There is one part of the proposal that calls for moving a portion of Metropolitan Park west toward downtown and developing a new park along the riverfront.

We look forward to reviewing the submissions come March and wish all interested parties the best of luck.”The RFP selection process will happen on two parts. Part one includes submission of qualifications, which the city will evaluate, score and select three shortlisted design teams to participate in a design competition. In the second half of the process, the three shortlisted design teams will receive a stipend to complete 50% designs where they will showcase their vision for the plaza, including how their design would interface with the future private development. The selected winner of the design competition for the best-qualified design will be invited to negotiate a full professional services design contract with the city, bringing design of the public space to 100%. As such, the city is taking reservations for use of the park between now and December 2021 and hopes to be under construction on the new public space by January 2022.
