The moves to make Max leave Jax
A Times-Union op-ed piece which supports the idea of leaving the Maxwell House factory downtown, despite suggestions that they be re-located to a “more industrialized area” so that the up-and-coming area can be used for other things.
The factory has been in business for 96 years and started up in a time when that area was full of industry with its own shipyard. Not so anymore. These days, the area has been spruced up and instead of industrial plants, the area boasts buildings such as the courthouse, city hall, offices and the Jacksonville Landing. Solid and reliable, Maxwell House labored on giving work to 300 people. They have also upgraded everything and landscaped the area to give it a better appearance.
