Bring a U.S. Navy destroyer to Downtown Jacksonville

There is a genuine effort to bring a U.S. Navy destroyer to Downtown Jacksonville as a permanent maritime museum (http://www.adamsclassddgvets.org/). The Jacksonville Historic Naval Ship Association has a store in the Landing, selling some pretty cool Navy gear as well as the idea. I'm sure there will be lots of opinions about this effort, but these guys are serious and we will be learning more.


The photo shows the USS CHARLES F ADAMS (DDG-2) berthed on the St Johns River in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

Rethinking and Remaking Downtown

Downtown Vision, Inc. (DVI) is the Downtown Improvement District (DID) for Downtown Jacksonville. DVI is a not-for-profit 501(c)6 organization whose mission is to build and maintain a healthy and vibrant Downtown community and to promote Downtown as an exciting place to live, work, play and visit.


The attached paper discusses the 2.72-square mile urban community redevelopment area bounded by State Street to the north, I-95 to the west and south and the St. Johns River to the east. The terms “urban core,” “walkable core” or “core” refer to the walkable area of Downtown Jacksonville consisting of approximately 25 blocks on the Northbank centered on Laura Street, plus the Southbank Riverwalk and Friendship Fountain area, which is accessible to pedestrians via the Main Street Bridge and water taxi. The core contains the three major “nodes” of Downtown activity including The Jacksonville Landing/Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, the Hemming Plaza government and cultural center, and the emerging entertainment district around Bay, Forsyth and Adams Streets, anchored by the Florida Theatre..
