Peter Rummell's Healthy Town Site Plan Released

They don't even own the property yet?

Sounds like another East San Marco.

I grew up not five minutes from the site back when it was still used by the JEA. A bunch of us families would sneak in to see fireworks every July 4th. I hope something happens with the site but this sounds like just more press releases. Sound and fury signifying nothing.

Speaking of the southbank, is the Broadstone River House project stalled?

No, just the slowest construction of all time

"Haven't seen this posted here, but the District has also commissioned Jacksonville University to study the health of residents once they beginning moving in"

Will it take into consideration each bucket of hot buttered popcorn/ice cold Coke consumed while at the movie theater?

I don't understand the thing about when a property is bought. Most plans start before closing, or you wouldn't have an incentive for buying it in the first place. There are several projects that have stalled even after the property was purchased (Laura Street Trio, 2 Shipyards, Berkman 2). There are also many projects that were announced before acquiring the land and went on to be successfully completed. If this one fails or stalls, it won't be due to when the land was purchased.

Well it means they are a little further along in the process. A few less things to get in the way. But generally speaking, I agree it's not a huge difference.
