The City of Jacksonville has approved an ordinance (2026-0457-E) that will provide a loan of up to $1,000,000 to the Jacksonville Housing Authority (JHA). This funding is designated for the demolition of the Downtown East Apartments, formerly known as Franklin Arms Apartments, and related onsite environmental cleanup. The loan will have a three-year term with a 2.0% interest rate. The city is authorized to enter into an agreement with JHA for this loan, bypassing competitive solicitation requirements. This project will involve site clearing, demolition, and environmental remediation. Contractors specializing in demolition, environmental services, and site preparation could find opportunities. Reaching out to the JHA or the City Finance Department early could provide insight into the project timeline and specific needs before final plans are set.
