The Jacksonville Jaguars so-called “Stadium of the Future” should have a huge impact on the city and it’s expected it could change nearby neighborhoods.
Part of the $1.4 billion plan calls for $300 million to go to the community. The community benefits agreement was introduced to Jacksonville City Council on Tuesday night and could improve Eastside neighborhoods and city parks over 30 years. A total of $150 million would come from the city and $150 million would come from the Jaguars .
Suzanne Pickett, who is part of Historic Eastside Jacksonville, has been instrumental in landing the community benefits agreement for her area and other parts of the city. “What makes this an impact player is the fact that we get to see these programs immediately with real money. And then have the sustaining money come in over 30 years. That is what makes this a thing that really can create an impact for downtown and frankly for the entire city,” Deegan said.
