City offering Snyder Memorial for Sale/Lease

[MusicMan]

Don't laugh, but how about a Starbucks in there?  New concept with beer and wine..............

Last week, DIA said that a RFP was never actually finalized previously, and that a new RFP for the site will be going out around April.

Thanks so much for the info Bill.

I've got a good feeling about this new RFP.

That's both somewhat disappointing, and also good news.

How does this much time go by without finalizing the RFP? Why would the city just let a potentially revenue-generating property just sit there, off the tax rolls?

I really hope they actually put some commitment into selling this place off this time, and getting something cool into the heart of downtown.

Quite common for Jacksonville actually. Both with city owned property and condemned properties that could be sold but aren't because of a huge backlog.
