DIA wants the Landing to start with a park

[heights unknown]

Anyone hear ANYTHING on the scoring of the American Lions Project at the former Jacksonville Landing? The meeting was supposed to be yesterday and DIA was supposed to have scored the proposal and reached some type consensus yesterday; or...was an additional 105 days given to hash out the incentives and the tax issue? Please advise. Its eerily quiet concerning this project as something should have come out from that meeting yesterday unless the meeting was cancelled or postponed.

That WAS the scoring meeting, per se. The meeting was really to determine whether to move forward with negotiation with the winning bid. So to speak, American Lions came in 1st place so they voted on whether to negotiate with the "winner", which they chose to do so.

Thanks Steve. Maybe we'll hear something "news wise" in the next few days. There was an issue regarding payment of taxes, i.e., American Lions wanted to pay much less and DIA wanted them to pay much much more. Hopefully this will be off and running and we'll have the first new significant skyscraper to host intense cranes to build it in quite some time.

Well everyone; I was not looking for it, was surfing through Yahoo News and here's what I found. Looks like we MIGHT have a NEW SKYSCRAPER competing for the Jax Area Sky very soon unless a deep recession or foreign attack snuffs it out. Here's the link below; enjoy.
