Curry, who has championed the proposal to raise the gas tax from 6 cents to 12 cents to address infrastructure needs and bring jobs to the area, was asked about the upcoming vote and the parallels to the failed Lot J deal.
“I think it’s time for them to make a decision,” Curry said of the council. “And as I’ve said before, push the red or the green button. I hope it’s the green button and the majority. I think this is big for Jacksonville and I feel good about the direction it’s headed. But you never know. I’ve been down this road before.”
