The City of Jacksonville is considering changes to its Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) and Future Land Use Map (FLUM) series. This proposed amendment, identified as 2026B Series, aims to designate a target growth area to encourage housing that is both resilient and affordable. The proposal is currently under review and has been introduced to the City Council, with various public hearings scheduled and some approvals already noted by city departments. This process will involve transmittal to state agencies for their review. The work set in motion by this plan amendment could eventually lead to site development, including potential clearing, grading, utility work, and construction. Contractors specializing in site preparation, general construction, and trades such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC may find opportunities as this plan moves forward. Engaging early in the process, before specific site plans and permits are finalized, allows businesses to understand the long-term vision and prepare for future development.
