Publix in San Marco project on hold

Regency and Publix Super Markets Inc. remain committed to the project — St. Joe officials did not respond to requests for comment — but there is no scheduled start date.

“We’re still committed to the project, but we don’t have a specific timeline,” said Dwaine Stevens, a spokesman for Publix. Stevens said the start of the project is contingent on selling the condo units, and that construction on the project won’t start until at least 2010.

At this point, I'd be surprised if they started this project before the end of 2010. In relation to local Publix expansion, it's on the back burner.

Demo is well underway.  I always liked what I thought of as a mild art-deco style (I don't recall much of it in use in Jax) of the old American National (recently Wachovia) Bank.  I thought that building had some reuse potential. It will be missed.

Any update on this yet? I'm over driving to a grocery store... walking is much preferred.
