News4JAX reported that the proposed liquor store location on Golfair Boulevard in Brentwood, Jacksonville, would be repurposed as a small business support center. The mayor, Donna Deegan, announced this decision during a luncheon. The support center is expected to open in early fall and will focus on workforce development and entrepreneurship.
The city of Jacksonville purchased the property for $1.8 million in November after opposition from Brentwood community members who protested against the liquor store due to its proximity to Kipp Voice Academy. Residents argued that the liquor store was not appropriate for the area, leading to the city’s decision to repurpose the property for a support center instead.
In addition to the liquor store controversy, community members have also opposed the construction of a new medical examiner’s office in the neighborhood. Despite these objections, construction for the medical examiner’s office is already underway next to the future support center. News4JAX is investigating whether there will be any changes to the plans for the medical examiner’s office in light of the new business center. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
