City unveils Jaguars stadium plan

Pleased that the attempts to separate the CBA from the stadium were ultimately unsuccessful. Again, this deal isn't perfect, and at the end of the day it comes at real expense to taxpayers (even without new taxes) but it's something many wanted and hopefully it will benefit to keep the NFL in town. Now attention can turn to bigger issues like housing, transportation, healthcare, education, and other quality of life amenities.

The way I look at is that the CBA is about all these bigger issues. It won't resolve all our needs but it becomes another tool in the tool box. It's also not over. For example, the TIF concept is still out there and being debated.

 Hey - I have a genius idea - rename it TrEverBank Stadium

Excited to see actual improvements in that area. I'm speculating, but have to imagine, one of the first improvements will be repaving and generally beautifying APR Blvd, any idea when that would start?

The APR business district will be an Eastside priority. Based on what I know but not a liberty to say at the moment, if I had to guess, it will be a completely different and improved experience by the time the new stadium is completed.
