Officials said there will be an estimated 736 direct and indirect jobs and at least 150 people will work at the facility. The sectors expected to benefit from the facility include manufacturing, real estate, healthcare and professional services. “HOLON’s decision to build this facility here has the potential to be a game-changer for Jacksonville, solidifying our leadership in the autonomous vehicle space and driving growth across multiple sectors,” JAXUSA Partnership President Aundra Wallace said. “This is the type of investment that will have a broad impact across our economy and we look forward to HOLON being a significant part of our business community.”One year later, Jacksonville Transportation Authority will launch phase one of the Ultimate Urban Circulator this summer.
