The City of Jacksonville City Council has approved an ordinance that will expand the Downtown Entertainment District. This change will include the Brooklyn District within the existing boundaries and update the official map. The ordinance, identified as Case/File Number 2026-0223-E, was approved by the City Council on April 28, 2026. This action is planned to take effect following codification instructions. The project involves updating city code and maps related to alcoholic beverage regulations within the expanded district. Businesses in and around the Brooklyn District may see changes related to their operations. This is an early stage of the process, with the ordinance now approved but awaiting final codification. The work will primarily involve administrative and legal updates, with potential downstream impacts on businesses requiring updated permits or licenses. Local legal services and businesses involved in alcohol sales or related services could be impacted.
