The grant represents 50% of the value of new county property taxes generated by the project and is payable over five years. The bill, 2020-0667, was introduced Oct. 27 and is on a two-reading cycle. It is on the full Council’s Nov. 10 agenda. The Hillman Group proposes to expand its distribution center and expand its Jacksonville workforce.
Imeson International Industrial Park Inc. intends to develop another warehouse in North Jacksonville. The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing plans for the Orlando-based company to develop a 377,685-squarefoot building on 28.45 acres at 9500 Busch Drive N. Imeson International Industrial Park Inc. President Dan Webb said by email Nov. 3 that there is no time frame for development. He said the structure is being designed for multitenant use but he is looking for a Webb single tenant. “We are getting the site permits so we are ready to move quickly,” he said. The site is at northeast Busch Drive and Imeson Park Boulevard. EnVision Design + Engineering LLC is the agent and civil engineer. Access Ecological Associates is the environmental consultant. Imeson International Industrial Park, at northeast Main Street and Zoo Parkway, also is the site for one of Amazon.com Inc.’s 10 announced or identified facilities. The city issued a permit Oct. 13 for Threecore LLC in Sarasota to build-out a 477,946-square-foot package delivery hub at 250 Busch Drive E. at a cost of $15 million.
