The Mayor’s Budget Review Committee voted March 11 to advance legislation to the Jacksonville City Council for $3 million in city funding to offset increased construction costs involved in relocating the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair.
The fair is moving to a 82.37-acre site at 13511 Normandy Blvd. next to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center in West Jacksonville.
The vote authorizes the city’s Office of Economic Development to introduce legislation to amend a 2023 redevelopment agreement and loan documents between the city and the Duval County Fair Association.
