The City of Jacksonville's Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee is reviewing a proposed change to the Downtown Entertainment District boundary. This change would include the Brooklyn area within the district. This would allow licensed businesses in the expanded district to sell, serve, and allow the consumption of alcoholic beverages from 6:00 am to 3:00 am, seven days a week. This item is currently pending review. The proposed change involves updating city code, which may lead to future opportunities for businesses involved in legal services, business consulting, and potentially signage or printing services if district boundaries are physically marked. Businesses that provide services to restaurants and bars, such as food and beverage suppliers or hospitality consultants, may also see future opportunities as the district expands. Reaching out to the city or relevant business associations early could provide insight into how this change might affect local businesses.
