With this being 19 acres directly adjacent to a First Coast Flyer station and right next door to College Park (Town & Country), this seems like a prime site for redevelopment.

Woo-hoo! Major eyesore that needs to go, though it sounds like the future beyond demolition is very hazy at this stage.

It makes me wonder if the housing project in the old FBI building is dead. They pulled permits quite a while ago but I haven't noticed any activity since.

This should be a good redevelopment site. It will be interesting to see what will take its place.
