Not Just the Landing: Mayor, New DIA CEO Offer Updates on Downtown Projects

July 12, 2019

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry began his second term July 1 at the same time former City Council member Lori Boyer stepped into her role as CEO of the Downtown Investment Authority.

Curry and Boyer provided details about Downtown projects that are city-owned or will use city-backed incentives.

Boyer said the DIA board wants to put the Old Courthouse/City Hall site on the market by October, publishing a request for proposals to developers that will include a city-owned parcel east of the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.

Curry said the city will solicit bids to develop The Jacksonville Landing site after its demolition near the end of the year. In the meantime, the DIA will determine what type of development works at the site.

Draft marketing materials released by Boyer on Tuesday show seven hotels in planning or development Downtown.
