ig projects are taking shape all over Northeast Florida, from a hydroponics farm to a roofing shingles plant and industrial facilities. Here is an update on some of the biggest the Daily Record is following around the region. THE PROJECTS, PAGES 4-8

The signs are up at the $64.2 million Department of Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic and domiciliary in North Jacksonville as it appears to be nearing completion and opening in early 2024. The project is at 145 Heron Bay Road on the north side of Max Leggett Parkway about a mile east of River City Marketplace. Permits show a $54 million, two-story, 173,200-square-foot outpatient center and a $10.2 million, one-story, 29,500-square-foot domiciliary. Uptown Signature Development has said the clinic will be fully operational by the end of 2024. It was granted a deadline extension through June 30, 2024, for the completion of the clinic so it can receive its city incentives package not to exceed $1.95 million. The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System broke ground on the facility in 2021. Meyer Najem Construction LLC is the contractor. Alabama-based Sain Associates is the civil engineer.
