The City of Jacksonville is reviewing the acquisition of property needed for a future construction project. This project involves 53 affected parcels, with a portion of one parcel being the current subject. The city is authorized to purchase the needed property through negotiation or eminent domain. Offers can be up to 25% above appraised value, plus up to $100,000 for business damages, not including legal and professional fees. The overall construction project is expected to be finished by 2030. This item is currently pending review by the Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee. The work will likely involve site acquisition, legal services, and eventually construction, including potential demolition, site preparation, utility work, and building. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs as plans develop.
