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.

The amendment was moved and seconded. Mr. Peterson explained the amendment.
A historic preservation and revitalization project is under review, involving a building designated as a landmark. The project is funded by the Northbank CRA and is adjacent to another project by the same contractor. Construction is planned to start within six months of contract approval and will last approximately 18 months. The project includes historic preservation and code compliance components that are forgivable, alongside a deferred principal loan component. The Downtown Preservation Revitalization Program (DPRP) requires an ROI greater than 0.5, with specific percentages of funding qualifying for forgiveness based on a detailed construction budget. This early stage in the process means contractors, suppliers, and service providers can engage before final plans and permits are set. Early outreach offers an advantage in competing for work related to site preparation, construction, and specialized trades.
