Post by: thelakelander on November 20, 2024, 08:23:50 PM

QuoteEmpty retail spaces in the city of Jacksonville's Edward Ball Building will be spruced up and offered to new tenants with funding approved Nov. 20 by the Downtown Investment Authority board.

The DIA board voted 9-0 to transfer $300,000 from the DIA's Facade Grant Program to improve the vacant spaces along the east side of the building at 214 N. Hogan St.

A resolution for the budget transfer, 2024-11-09, was on the board's consent agenda and was approved without comment.

Great stuff!

Love this.

New bodega/mini-mart opened today in the old Back to the Grind spot across the street from Edward Ball.
