  • 2019-2020 State of Downtown Report
    2019-2020 STATE OF DOWNTOWN REPORT FLORIDA 1 LETTER FROM MAYOR LENNY CURRY Jacksonville is a city on the rise, a fact that is clearly demonstrated in our ever- growing Downtown. Economic momentum throughout Jacksonville, specifically in our Downtown corridor, remains a top priority for my administration. Public and private investment in our city center is at its highest levels in decades. VyStar Credit Union relocated its headquarters and 1,200 employees to Downtown Jacksonville, while JEA and FIS are developing a combined 462,000 square foot footprint of office space for their new headquarters. Mixed use projects like The Barnett, Laura St. Trio, The Ambassador Hotel, and Independent Life Insurance Building are breathing new life into Downtown’s historic buildings. Development projects underway total nearly $3 billion and our riverfront is poised for generational change with multiple catalytic projects, including the Ford on Bay and Lot J. Last year, Downtown saw more than 20 million visitors drawn to Downtown’s 15 culture and entertainment venues, five sports teams, four major medical facilities, three college campuses, numerous restaurants and shops, and various events and conventions. Cultural gems like The Florida Theatre and the Museum of Science & History are embarking on multimillion-dollar renovations to further enhance the Downtown experience. More and more people are choosing to live Downtown for the atmosphere, entertainment options and walkability. Since last year’s report, the number of Downtown residents is up 18%, and the number of units is up 20% with four new multifamily properties opened, and 652 more units under construction. We are expected to see even more growth in the coming years thanks to the Downtown Investment Authority’s Food and Beverage Retail Enhancement and Storefront Façade Grant programs which aim to create an even more lively and vibrant Downtown.

  • Celebrating the River: a Plan for Downtown Jacksonville
    CELEBRATING THE RIVER: A PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE In early 1977, citizens and city leaders took up the challenge of restoring downtown Jacksonville to a vibrant district with many options for living, working and playing. Public input has played an important role in meeting that challenge, and substantial citizen involvement in committees, public meetings and community forums culminated in the development of this master plan for revitalizing Jacksonville’s downtown. Celebrating the River: A Plan for Downtown Jacksonville is a road map that provides the basis for all future downtown development. It directs and recommends where development should take place and what type of development it will be. It includes projects that can be implemented quickly and others that will take much longer to complete. It focuses on the natural asset of the scenic St. Johns River which fl ows through the heart of the city and anchors both banks of the river to the downtown core. It also capitalizes on our climate, creating green space, pedestrian right-of-ways and scenic vistas. It is our vision and blueprint for future development opportunities, and something of which we can all be proud. Downtown Jacksonville is the heart of the city. It can and should refl ect the beauty, diversity and vitality of our entire region, and this master plan provides the guidance needed to make that vision a reality. Mayor John Peyton City of Jacksonville CELEBRATING THE RIVER: A PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE VISION STATEMENT acksonville aspires to be one of the Jworlds great cities. Downtown is the heart of Jacksonville and its vitality is critical to the citys future as a world-renowned livable place.
