Thanks for the correction. My source was a February Jax Daily Record article linked here:

However, JAXPORT applied for a $24 million TIGER grant to upgrade rail infrastructure at Talleyrand:

The JTA applied for a $22 million FASTLANE grant for the downtown Jax rail enhancements:

JAXPORT or JTA?

JAXPORT applied and lost.

JTA applied for a different grant. No word on the status of that one. Keep your fingers crossed for JTA.

The Jax Daily Record article I used as a source, mixed up the grant names and agencies.  The linked Jax Biz Journal article above list them correctly. Based on this, the article has been edited.
