Title: Visit Jacksonville moving to Laura Street
Post by: thelakelander on April 23, 2009, 10:42:25 AM
Another nice relocation for downtown.  A visitor's center and art gallery at Laura and Adams should add more foot traffic between Hemming and the Landing.

Quote• Visit Jacksonville is moving. After seven years at the 550 Building on Water Street, the city’s official tourism promotion agency has signed a lease for two floors in the Greenleaf Building on Laura Street. While the offices will be on the second floor, the street-level space will be a combination Visitor’s Center and art gallery. Plans are underway for an open house celebration in July.

Good find, this is a step in the right direction for this corridor.

Ditto that reed.  Laura is a great location for a visitor's center.  The only other location I would think of is the Landing.

Pretty sure Visit Jax has a store at the Landing across from Compass Bank. Unless it closed of course.
