A plan for new apartments and a restaurant at the site of the old River City Brewing Company on Jacksonville’s Southbank has been delayed.
The update on the project has left many saying Jacksonville is at it again — tearing things down without a plan for replacement. But that’s not really the case here.
The plan was to replace the restaurant with new apartments and a restaurant. The city had worked out an incentive deal with the developer — tax breaks — but due to the economy and construction costs, the developer, Related Group, could not meet construction deadlines. That prompted the head of Jacksonville’s Downtown Investment Authority, Lori Boyer, to write a letter telling the developer that the deal is off for now. But Boyer said, hopefully, that won’t be for long.
