Print ArticleA brief look at the status of various projects under construction in and around Downtown Jacksonville during the month of September.
Downtown
1. Haydon Burns Library
Jessie Ball duPont Fund will spend $20 million renovating Haydon Burns Library into an office building for nonprofit organizations. The Jessie Ball duPont Fund will take up less than 10 percent of the building’s space. The rest will be rented out to other nonprofits, retail services like a coffee shop or converted to public space. The project should be completed by late 2014 or early 2015.
