Three national design firms pitched their visions June 24 for a city park at the former Jacksonville Landing on the St. Johns River Downtown.
The design teams, Agency Landscape + Planning LLC, Olin Partnership Ltd. and Perkins & Will Inc., pitched plans at the Main Public Library Downtown to a panel of city officials and local business and nonprofit leaders.
“Our desire is to become a city of vision and reality instead of a city of renderings,” said Haskell landscape architect Chris Flagg during public comment.

Gov. DeSantis targets vaccination ‘tourism’
Gov. Ron DeSantis is working on guidelines meant to stop COVID-19 vaccination “tourism” in Florida. Appearing at two news conferences Tuesday, DeSantis said he wants to make sure the state’s COVID-19 vaccine supply is being directed to Florida residents. “That can include people who live here half the year, but it’s not for people just visiting,” the governor said during an appearance in Rockledge. The effort came after media reports about people from outside the state coming to Florida to get vaccinated. [Source: WJXT]
