Looks like it was thumbs up for Khan after this meeting.  Scott loves power and money and Khan brings that to the table in spades.  So I am sure Scott was listening to Khan's ideas for Jacksonville.  Since I believe Khan want's to see our city reach it's greatest potential, I am hoping the two of them continue to have a good rapport.  Keep on keeping on Mr. Khan.  If things go well we may even be able to find a bit of light in the dark days of Rick Scott.  lol

A spokesman for Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan said Khan's meeting Sunday evening with Gov. Rick Scott was "outstanding."

"We were the guest of the governor and the discussion of economic development opportunities for the Jax region was outstanding," said spokesman Jim Woodcock in an email Monday morning.

Woodcock and Scott spokeswoman Jackie Schutz did not offer details.

"They discussed economic development opportunities," Schutz said in an email Monday morning.

Scott's posted schedule for Sunday listed a "meeting with Shad Khan" from 6:30-8 p.m. Sunday at the governor's mansion in Tallahassee.

Khan has been investing in Jacksonville area businesses and also has expressed interest in the vacant riverfront Shipyards property near EverBank Field, home of the Jaguars
