Home run.

Plans within 30 days, on the record.

Pretty exciting.

Wrong sport, I think you mean touchdown

"While the unveiling of the plan is days away, the building of the Shipyards area will be years in the making and will be privately funded by Khan."

Touchdown, home run, slam dunk, hole-in-one; it's all of these and more. The shameful bitching and moaning on this board about the city contributions for the scoreboards notwithstanding. This man is the real deal.

Go Jaguars !!!

And then we can start agonizing over the 2 years it will take the city to get their act together to remediate the land.

This sounds a bit worrying. There's no mention of how much Khan will pay for the property, but lots of talk for how much we're expected to pay to clean up the site.

I hope the mayor isn't planning to just give millions of dollars worth of property to Khan, or worse, pay him to take it.

2014-560 CRA/DIA is the legislation that goes to the Jacksonville city council committee cycle the day after Super Bowl IXIX. This will not only impact the Shipyards property but also the Landing and JEA property.
