This civic agenda item concerns a modification to loan forgiveness conditions for JU, an entity located in Jacksonville, Duval. The proposed change would require JU to show an overall enrollment of at least 175 students by September 30, 2027. This is a shift from the current rule, which demands an average enrollment of 175 students for two consecutive academic years before that date. JU's Fall 2025 enrollment was 135 students, and Fall 2026 enrollment reached 211 students, averaging 173 students over the two-year span. All other requirements for loan forgiveness have been met. This item is currently under review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. While this item does not involve direct construction, it could lead to future needs for professional services related to financial planning, legal counsel, and business consulting as JU works to meet the revised enrollment targets. Early engagement with JU could provide opportunities to offer services that support their enrollment goals.
