in Kendall Town Center, a Gate Lands Co. project, and next to an Ascension St. Vincent’s health center. ■ The West Jacksonville center on 2.15 acres at 8083 Parramore Road in Collins Town Center at a job cost of $6.8 million. The site is at southwest Interstate 295 and Collins Road. Each center also will include a $10,000 dumpster enclosure. The sign at the Arlington site says the emergency room will open in June. In October, Ascension St. Vincent’s President Tom VanOsdol said the projects reflect the Jacksonville health system’s “desire to provide convenient access to compassionate, personalized care across our region.”
On Jan. 10, Kelly McCormick took over as owner at Reddi-Arts after Bruce Meiselman sold her the company he’d owned for 47 years. As an art lover with a degree in animation from the Savannah College of Art and Design, McCormick said owning an art store had long been a McCormick dream of hers. “The fact that it was ReddiArts is even better,” she said. McCormick grew up in Jacksonville. After returning to the city after graduating from SCAD in 2009, she often shopped at Reddi-Arts since that was the only place she could find some of the supplies she had in college. Before buying the company, McCormick, 33, worked as a graphic designer at her father’s doctor’s office, creating branding and advertising for businesses and a band, designing websites and making marketing materials. McCormick said not much will change until the company moves out of its space at 1037 Hendricks Ave. in four months to Springfield. She will keep the 11 ReddiArts employees, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
