Real estate gurus go on a Jacksonville trip
Jacksonville’s “Downtown Vision Inc” and the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission’s Retail Task Force (quite a mouthful there) went on a tour around Jacksonville the other day and they made some very interesting observations along the way, as well as making a few wishes.
For example, it was said that the Southbank condos are selling fast because they are situated in the right place – within walking distance to restaurants was one example. They also pointed out East Bay Street which has condos, bars and businesses. But they felt that the sidewalk could do with a little expansion.
Ideas were also floated for Metropolitan Park, Alltel Stadium and Hemming Plaza. All these ideas will eventually be presented to the JEDC’s Downtown Committee.
