duvaldude08.............I kinda hope we lose out on this! There are way too many unaswered questions for me to be real comfortable with this! Besides, the current administration is too slow about most things other than taxing and feeing the public! To me it is not a question about build it and they will come, but why build it using taxpayer money on basically what is a crap shoot! Mayport deserves better and so does Jacksonville!

I would much rather see a cruise terminal there than nothing. Mayport is dead. The resturants out there gets little business. Even the business state that they want to see it happen. This could also mean jobs and money coming into Jacksonville.

I suspect that the cruise terminal is coming back to the Mayport site.  JPA is just checking off a few more boxes to strengthen its "conclusion" and waiting out and wearing down its opposition.  Given the economy, the time could not be better for them to make their push.  It's hard to turn down the economic boost when people are struggling.  The opposition has an obstacle that it didn't have a couple or more years ago.
Hey!  Whatever happened to just plain ol' COMMON SENSE!!
