Jacksonville Farmers Market is proud to share the formation of the up & coming Rail Yard District (follow at https://www.facebook.com/RailYardDistrictJax/ (https://www.facebook.com/RailYardDistrictJax/)). Dozens of businesses, from mom & pops to multinational corporations, have already participated in our early stages.
This is an historic 4 square mile area surrounding JFM that is home to numerous tourist attractions (e.g. JFM, Eco Relics, Engine 15 Brewing Downtown Tap Room & Biergarten, The Glass Factory, Battalion Airsoft Arena, Rethreaded, Mixon Studios & Jax Paddle Sports with more on the way).
The Rail Yard District hosts over 350 businesses with 7,000+ employees & $2.5+ billion in revenues.
The district boundaries are from I-10, north to Kings Road (US 1) and I-95, west to Huron Street. Major avenues include portions of Stockton & King Streets, McDuff Ave., W. Beaver St., Myrtle & Edison Aves., Kings Road, Dennis & Forest Streets).
Thanks to LISC Jacksonville and Councilman Garrett Dennis for all their support in creating this organization and for Ennis Davis, Mike Field & Metro Jacksonville for sharing our progress over the last several months. We look forward to many exciting developments going forward!

Thanks! We all look to a great future headed the Rail Yard District's way.
Sounds great! I like the name Rail Yard District but I think the logo needs a change it's too generic and looks clip art-ish I understand this the just the beginning for you guys so I hope I didn't come off as rude just wanted to give a friendly suggestion. :D
exciting! easy to imagine funky infill there
Awesome!
I hope the momentum from Murray Hill, Riverside and the New rail district will share some of their love with the mcduff strip.
