AMENDMENT

The City of Jacksonville is considering a plan to support the establishment of a Culinary Institute of America Southeast Campus in downtown Jacksonville. This project is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The city is authorized to negotiate a term sheet and economic development incentive package, which could be up to $35,000,000, pending future council approval and funding. This initiative aims to attract the Culinary Institute before a June board meeting where potential locations will be discussed. While this item focuses on council support and negotiations, a project of this nature typically involves site preparation, construction, and various trade work once approved and funded. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item's progress as it moves through the review process, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding potential future needs.
