This item concerns proposed amendments to a funding and use agreement related to improvements at Edward Waters University (EWU). The agreement involves a $2 million grant from the City of Jacksonville, which will be applied to the construction of a track, including planning, design, permitting, site preparation, and construction costs. The project is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The scope of work will involve site preparation, construction of the track, and related infrastructure. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the project as plans develop. Reaching out now, before final bids and permits are issued, allows businesses to position themselves for potential work in site clearing, grading, utility installation, paving, and construction trades.
