Several councilmen spoke in favor of the project, including Councilman Rory Diamond, who said the developer had a mediation with the Downtown Investment Authority to design the current plan after a vote on the property last year ended in a tie.“Every part of Jacksonville needs affordable housing and we have to do it. In order to make it financially viable, you need something else that gives you revenue and the other thing in this case is self-storage,” Diamond said.
Councilman Matt Carlucci voiced his frustration with council voting in favor of the redeveloping, stating that it goes against the DIA’s recommendation and the will of the people. “There’s thousands of people who oppose this and they have the benefit of being right. We’re going against the district councilmember and the at-large geographical member who have spent our lives in San Marco and the Southbank fighting for what’s best,” Carlucci said.“They don’t believe in Jacksonville’s future. They rather put a self-storage in there. And I’m not mad at you. But I’m just livid at the fact that it continues to happen.
