The city’s Downtown Investment Authority announced the launch of a new website geared towards attracting investment and promoting downtown development.
DIA’s new website - https://investdtjax.com – offers resources for investors and developers, including a comprehensive real estate database, information on DIA incentives, demographic data and up-to-date project information.
“We have been through a very trying and challenging time. I feel there is pent up demand that’s just building up,” said DIA Board Chair Ron Moody. “When everything does settle down, we’re going to see some real activity and real growth. We have a lot of projects that have been simmering, and they’re going to going to be moving forward very shortly.”
The website was created in conjunction with Downtown Vision Inc. and Wingard Marketing Agency.
Moody said the website is an important tool that’s been due for some time, adding that it gives investors from out of town a chance to gather information quickly about the city.
“Jacksonville hasn’t ever had this before, and this is something we need people to see so they’ll know that we’re serious about doing business,” Moody said.
Additional resources on the website include an interactive map of ongoing development and links to studies and reports such as DVI’s State of Downtown report.
