Boaters could soon have a place to dock downtown: A half acre of city-owned submerged land near the Berkman and the Ford on Bay.
The Downtown Investment Authority board will vote next Wednesday whether to solicit a term sheet for a company to build and operate dockage under a 50-year lease, with a 25-year renewal option.
The DIA resolution states, "Additional dockage is being created as part of a larger marina development plan to bring more boaters into downtown Jacksonville."
The resolution formalizes what DIA CEO Lori Boyer has repeatedly told the board, that despite Spandrel Development Partners' lack of interest in building a marina, others were lining up for the opportunity.
