I can't wait for the key elements to the Public Access components.

I think you're going to have to wait for the Jaguars to make the super bowl before this presentation materializes.

I doubt that.  There is no reason to be THAT cynical.  The presentation will happen, the Berkman will be completed, Rummell's thing across the river will materialize, and the Landing will fix itself.

Khan has stated that once a plan is in place, he wants this project to break ground quickly. If you look at his history, it's kind of his MO. I mean, look how quickly those scoreboards went from concept to execution. There's no reason to believe that Khan is pouring so much in the way of time and resources into the Shipyards to back out or let the project linger in the design stage for years. Khan's requests in the above article seem perfectly reasonable, and it's going to be up to the city to not drop the ball on their end. The biggest threat to the project would probably be another economic downturn, so it's up to the COJ to get the remediation taken care of, get the RFP out there quickly, etc.

And I love how it was made clear nothing will happen until the eyesore known as Berkman 2 is addressed.

That property is very. very polluted.

It will take months/years to remediate.

That is going to have to be addressed and will be very controversial regarding who pays for it.

I suppose that is why the Florida-Georgia Line concert is being held there tomorrow?

Huh?  You do understand there's a difference between what happens at a construction site and what happens at a concert, right?

I love my City Jax, but there seems to be too much red tape when it comes to new projects, developments, etc., getting off the drawing boards, off the paper, and constructed and into fruition. I hope this comes off ground without a hitch, and I hope that City Governnment does not have their fart preventing fingers in you know where. Let her rip and let her blow!

Is that a fact or a guess?

From its past life as a shipyard for 100(ish?) years it's almost a guarantee.
