AMENDMENT

Finance Committee · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Finance Committee is reviewing an amendment related to the potential establishment of a Culinary Institute of America Southeast Campus in downtown Jacksonville. This amendment corrects language regarding the Tourist Development Council's support and addresses minor errors. The proposal includes authorizing the negotiation of a term sheet and economic development incentive package, not to exceed $35,000,000, pending future Council approval and funding. This item is currently under review. If approved, this project could involve site preparation, construction, and various trade services for a new campus. The opportunity lies in engaging with city officials and the Culinary Institute early in the negotiation process, before final plans, bids, and permits are established, to potentially secure contracts for construction, supplies, and related services.
