WHAT’S TRENDING

City issues building permit for Jones Bros. Furniture building

Long-simmering plans to resurrect the vacant Jones Bros. Furniture Co. building in Downtown Jacksonville can move forward after the city issued a building permit for the adaptive reuse project Dec. 19. Avant Construction Group Inc. of Jacksonville is the contractor for a $9 million, 38,836-square-foot build-out at the seven-story building at 520 N. Hogan St.

According to Daily Record archives, Jacksonville-based Corner Lot Development Group has been working to revive the building since 2018. In February 2024, Jacksonville City Council approved $6.031 million in incentives for the project. Plans for the building call for 28 apartment units and at least 1,700 square feet of co-work office space.

The median price of a single-family home in Northeast Florida rose 0.5% in November to $392,000, its fourth consecutive monthly increase, according to the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors.

While the price was up, inventory continued to climb while sales volume was down in the market that comprises Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties.

The active inventory of homes rose for the 11th consecutive month to 7,645,

up 7.5% from October and 67% from a year ago, when 4,578 homes were listed.

The number of new listings slowed to 2,568, down 6.3% from October.

Closed sales fell 12.3% from October to 1,392, the sixth consecutive month of decline. Closed sales are down 4.1% from a year ago.

The median number of days on the market rose to 53. By comparison, a year ago it was 44.

Publix can build store in Elevation Pointe

St. Johns County issued a permit Dec. 20 for Publix Super Markets Inc. to build a 48,387-square-foot grocery store in Elevation Pointe in St. Augustine at a project cost of $3.83 million.

Elevation Pointe is a mixed-use development along Florida 16 that includes retail, apartments and town homes.

THE BASCH REPORT

BY MARK BASCH |

Dream Finders COO moves to nonexecutive role

Doug Moran was one of the top executives behind founder and CEO Patrick Zalupski.

Dream Finders Home Inc.

said in a Dec. 23 Securities and Exchange Commission filing that Chief Operations Officer Doug Moran is transitioning to a nonexecutive officer role with the company.

The Jacksonville-based homebuilder said the transition will enable Moran to better manage his health as he reduces his travel, but gave no other details.

Moran was listed as 52 years old in Dream Finders’ annual proxy statement.

He was one of the two top executives serving as senior vice presidents under founder and CEO Patrick Zalupski. The other is Chief Financial Officer L. Anabel Fernandez.

Moran joined Dream Finders as division president for Northeast Florida in August 2015 and became chief operations officer of the company in January 2017, according to the proxy.

He will take on a newly created role of national president of Dream Finders, the Dec. 23 SEC filing said.

The company said it has begun the process of finding a successor to Moran as COO.

Analysts remain cautious on Treace

Treace Medical Concepts Inc. hit a bump in the road in May when the maker of surgical products to treat bunions reduced its revenue forecast, sending its stock plummeting.

As investors look to 2025, two analysts issued reports indicating caution about the stock’s recovery in the year ahead.

“On one hand, we remain believers in the Lapiplasty value proposition as Treace’s innovative solution for bunion correction is a clear improvement over legacy solutions that translates to superior outcomes for patients,” J.P. Morgan analyst Lily Lozada said in a Dec. 17 research report.

Lapiplasty is Ponte Vedrabased Treace’s main procedure for treating bunions.

“In addition, the company’s growing portfolio of ancillary products enables it to become a one-stop shop for bunion procedures,” Lozada said.

“On the other, competitive

pressures have begun to materialize, which clouds the outlook for the Lapiplasty ramp from here,” she said.

“While the company should be able to more effectively compete once its MIS osteotomy products are on the market, it remains to be determined how well Treace will be able to win back share from its larger orthopedics peers.”

The stock was priced at $17 in its April 2021 initial public offering and traded as high as $37.17 in June 2021.

The stock had fallen back but was trading near $11 in early May, when its reduced forecast sent the stock to a low of $3.92.

The stock traded in a range of $7 to $8 for most of December 2024.

Lozada rates the stock as “neutral” with an $8 price target.

Truist Securities analyst Richard Newitter maintained a “hold” rating on Treace while raising his price target from $7 to $8.40 in a Dec. 18 report on the medical technology industry.

Analyst likes potential of Duos Technologies’ businesses

After Duos Technologies Group Inc. added two new business lines in 2024 to its main business

of technology for the railroad industry, Ascendiant Capital Markets analyst Edward Woo sees strong potential for its stock.

Jacksonville-based Duos announced the formation of one subsidiary to provide artificial intelligence data centers in rural markets and added another subsidiary to provide energy services.

Woo said in a research note the businesses “have long commercialization challenges ahead, but we believe the approximate billion dollar market potential presents high rewards for the risks,” he said.

Woo maintained his “buy” rating but raised his price target from $6 to $7.50, with the stock trading at $4.10 at the time of his Dec. 16 report.

“This represents significant upside from the current share price and we believe appropriately balances out the high risks with large upside opportunities,” he said.

Cadre has new credit deal to fund acquisitions

Cadre Holdings Inc. announced a new credit agreement Dec. 23 that helps the Jacksonville-based maker of safety and security products seek additional acquisition opportunities.

The five-year agreement with a group of banks provides Cadre with up to $590 million in credit.

“This strategic refinancing provides more scale and financial flexibility with favorable terms and extended maturities, enabling Cadre to continue to proactively seek to capitalize on meaningful organic and inorganic growth opportunities,” said CEO Warren Kanders in a news release.

Cadre, which focuses on products for the law enforcement and first responder markets, has grown through acquisitions and Kanders has repeatedly stated his goals of finding new merger targets since the company went public in 2021.

“Cadre’s M&A program is a key component to accelerate long-term growth. We continue to aggressively evaluate a robust pipeline of potential transactions and are tracking well to further grow our platform and enhance our market leadership through M&A,” Kanders said in Cadre’s quarterly conference call Nov. 6, according to a company transcript.

A COOL FINISH GIVES WAY TO A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK

North Florida’s Local Economic Indicators Project shows optimism about the economy in the new year after stagnant conditions at the end of 2024.

BY MARK BASCH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Jacksonville’s economy was cooling off at the end of 2024, according to the latest available data.

But one survey of Northeast Florida businesses indicated optimism that conditions will rebound in 2025.

The unemployment rate for the Jacksonville metropolitan area of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties stood at 3.6% in November, with the job growth rate at 1.5% for the region.

That’s higher than jobless rates that were below 3% in the first half of 2023, while job growth has slowed from its 3.9% rate at the beginning of 2023.

However, a monthly survey of Jacksonville area manufacturing firms by the University of North Florida’s Local Economic Indicators Project shows optimism about the economy in the new year after stagnant conditions at the end of 2024.

“This optimism suggests confidence in the region’s economic stability and an expectation of steady or increasing demand in 2025,” UNF economist Albert Loh said in his report on the November survey that showed that hopeful outlook.

“Such a strong outlook can spur investments in capacity, hiring, and infrastructure, contributing to the overall vitality of the Jacksonville economy. However, as reflected in respondents’ comments, the tempered nature of this optimism suggests that businesses remain cautious, balancing optimistic forecasts with awareness of potential

risks,” he said.

The manufacturers were hoping for a strong holiday season to jump-start the economy.

“Many manufacturers anticipate growth into 2025, partly due to expectations of easing interest rates, which could support consumer spending and investment,” Loh said.

“However, challenges such as labor shortages, tariff uncertainties, and potential port disruptions temper confidence, underscoring that while the overall outlook is positive, external risks remain a concern,” he said.

The manufacturing sector was one of the weaker industries in November’s labor market report by the Florida Department of Commerce. Manufacturing employment was down by 300 jobs since November 2023, a 0.8% decline.

However, construction was an area of strength, growing by 2,500 jobs, or 4.8%.

The housing market was experiencing a seasonal slowdown in November, according to the latest report by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors.

NEFAR President Rory Dubin said in a news release the market is typically stronger in the first quarter.

“Interest rates remain volatile with unknown adjustments as we head into 2025. Investors, a major factor in our market, are hopeful for economic policy and rates with a new administration taking office in January,” he said.

EXPERT INSIGHTS 2025

WHAT 26 NORTHEAST FLORIDA LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Daniel Cronrath

Professor of Political Science, Florida State College at Jacksonville

The primary economic issue facing the political landscape is to maximize relationships with the Trump administration and secure critical investments in resiliency and sustainability in what will be a tsunami of attempts to impose austerity measures.

The city of Jacksonville and the state of Florida have real fiscal restraints created by constitutional requirements mandating balanced budgets.

The federal government has no such fiscal restraints, only real resource constraints and a lack of political will to keep it from investing in our cities. Northeast Florida’s congressional delegation needs to work with the Mayor Donna Deegan administration in securing transformative infrastructure investment in our region. We are uniquely positioned to leverage the special relationship between Northeast Florida and the Trump White House.

Decades of dogma surrounding national deficits and debt need to be jettisoned and our leaders need to recognize the absolute necessity of federal assistance in creating the conditions for sustainable and resilient economic growth for decades to come.

COMMERCIAL BANKING

Debbie Buckland

Area Manager, Client Advisory Group, Pinnacle Financial Partners

The primary economic issue facing commercial banking is staying relevant in the face of increased competition.

A lot of commercial banking’s future is in cash management, payments and using AI to find efficiencies and enhance service.

The large national banks are investing billions in technology to stand apart, which is a smart move from one perspective.

The banks that stay relevant in the age of AI, though, are those that balance technology with people, giving clients the tools they need with people-powered advice and support.

When the technology falls short or, heaven forbid, someone becomes a fraud victim, they need a banker who will answer the phone with experience and help solve their problem.

The service and advice have got to be there before the technology, and that’s why we believe Pinnacle has a leg up.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Aundra Wallace

President, JAXUSA Partnership

The primary issue facing economic development in the Jacksonville region is developing the number of talented workers companies need to succeed here.

The word is out. Companies are investing in Jacksonville. To keep up, we need to continue to increase the number of talented people graduating from local colleges and universities. Companies all say the same thing: The graduates we’re hiring are phenomenal. We just need more of them.

We will continue to make the case to our Duval Delegation and to leaders in Tallahassee that any investment in higher education in the Jacksonville region is an investment in our local economy and will drive our continued growth.

We have been clear for the past several years that this is our top legislative priority and have made significant process. We will keep pushing in 2025 and beyond.

ECONOMIC FORECAST ISSUE

HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM

Michael Corrigan

President and CEO, Visit Jacksonville

The primary economic issue facing Jacksonville’s hospitality/tourism industry is continued economic uncertainty, especially during the construction of the Stadium of the Future.

While tourism/hospitality business models have adapted, uncertainty remains as inflation continues to be a factor in decision-making for both leisure and business travel.

More than half of the people who travel to Jacksonville are coming to visit family and friends.

Visit Jacksonville is increasing efforts to educate the Jacksonville community on activities to do in the area.

We also encourage locals to “Bring It Home” and host a meeting or convention in Jacksonville rather than traveling to another city or state.

This has never been more important than the upcoming 2026-28 period, when EverBank Stadium is being reimagined and will not host annual events that historically bring visitors to the city.

SMALL BUSINESS

Lakita Spann

Co-founder, Mr. Potato Spread Inc.

2024 JAX Chamber Small Business Leader of the Year

The primary economic issue facing small businesses is managing rising costs while accessing the resources needed to scale and compete effectively.

The restaurant and food service industry is adapting by embracing more profitable revenue streams like food trucks and catering.

Many fast-casual businesses are shifting to smaller footprints focused on takeout, with some even eliminating dine-in spaces entirely.

Drive-thrus remain a significant advantage for those who have them.

Customers want great food at affordable prices but increasingly prefer convenience over dining in.

At Mr. Potato Spread, we made the strategic decision to eliminate our brick-and-mortar locations and focus on our food truck and drop-off catering services. This shift has proven more profitable, allowing us to operate with lower overhead and greater flexibility while positioning us to adapt quickly to market demands and customer preferences.

TRUCKING

Nichole Mobley CEO, T&N Xpress LLC

The primary economic issues facing the trucking industry is the ongoing driver shortage, compounded by rising operational costs, regulatory pressures and the transition to sustainable technologies.

The trucking industry is addressing the driver shortage by implementing higher wages, sign-on bonuses and improved benefits to attract and retain drivers.

Many companies are also investing in enhanced training programs and targeting younger recruits, including high school graduates and women through outreach campaigns.

Technology is playing a critical role, with autonomous driving systems and advanced telematics improving efficiency and reducing driver fatigue.

Additionally, the industry is streamlining licensing processes and collaborating with government agencies to create pathways for new entrants.

To tackle sustainability, fleets are adopting electric and alternative fuel vehicles, supported by partnerships with manufacturers and infrastructure developers. These efforts aim to modernize the workforce and operations while ensuring long-term viability and compliance with environmental goals.

LEGAL LANDSCAPE

Nick Allard

Randall C. Berg Jr. Founding Dean, JU College of Law

The primary economic issue facing the legal landscape is that the economics of successful legal educators and lawyers increasingly will be driven by competent, just and ethical use of disruptive technology like AI.

A remake of the 1967 film “The Graduate” would feature “AI” instead of “plastics” as the iconic one word of career advice.

AI already is prevalent throughout law practice. Lawyers cannot function optimally without AI competency.

Law students who learn AI best practices will have a competitive advantage entering the job market.

That is why inside and outside the classroom our students learn the AI ABCs: Academic and Professional Integrity, Billing Issues, Confidentiality/Privilege, not to mention Disclosure, Ethics, Forensics, Government Guardrails, Hallucinations, Intellectual Property, Just Access, and all the rest.

We can do this because our faculty is in the forefront of this field, employers and clients value it, and our students are eager and able to master it.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Christian Oldenburg

COO, Ash Properties

President, NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development

Association Northeast Florida Chapter

The primary economic issue facing commercial real estate is the deterioration of demand for office and retail space driven by a secular shift toward remote work and consumption.

This is particularly challenging when paired with today’s elevated cost of capital, which drives down property valuations and forces owners to come up with more equity to capitalize projects. There is no single solution for this problem, but the industry is responding creatively, lobbying for government assistance to convert office buildings to affordable housing and focusing on creating vibrant retail spaces where people want to be. We are also being helped by a turning tide. Almost five years on from the emergence of COVID-19 and the associated work-fromhome boom, many people are starting to realize that remote work is not the solution for maximizing team productivity and culture.

Looking forward, expect to see reinvestment in welllocated office space, often driven by recapitalization or outright sales. As has been the case for generations, retail space and the concepts that rely on brick and mortar will continue to evolve and draw people from their homes to spend time together.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Eric Heninger

Adjunct Professor, Accounting & Finance, University of North Florida Coggin College of Business

The primary economic issue facing higher education is our primary customers cannot afford our product without federal and state subsidies.

We must prove our current value to students and their families.

While most students in the State University System of Florida depend on financial aid in some form, the value proposition is favorable.

Florida does an excellent job with prepaid college and its Bright Futures scholarships.

Incoming and current students then have a slew of scholarships and grants to consider.

My industry needs to address legacy spending and focus on programs that add value to students.

Our state universities, in my opinion, have outperformed the industry.

Here at UNF, the five-year median monthly earnings for an accounting and finance bachelor’s degree is currently $6,443 (only behind the University of Florida and Florida State University, according to the U.S. Dept of Education College Scorecard).

The monthly average student loan payment is $167.

That’s a solid value proposition.

CIVIC LIFE

Dennis Whittle

CEO & President, Jacksonville Civic Council

The primary economic issue facing civic life in Jacksonville is our chronic underinvestment in quality of life for our residents.

Successful business leaders invest in their businesses to ensure they grow and respond to what consumers need.

The same holds true for city government.

Yet for years, we have spent only half of what other big cities in Florida invest each year in infrastructure and basic services for our citizens.

As a result, our quality of life lags; in fact the premature death rate in Jacksonville is twice as high as peer cities.

We can’t become world-class on the cheap. It’s time to take a hard look at the investments needed for Jacksonville to become a true destination of choice with opportunity for all.

Increased investment, with a focus on accountability and efficiency, will generate high returns.

ARCHITECTURE

William Bishop

Principal, Akel Logan Shafer

The primary economic issue facing the architecture profession is inflation in the construction industry.

Over the past five years, the rate of inflation in the construction industry has exceeded well more than 50%.

As in any business, as costs go up the economy consumes less.

Architecture is a lagging economic indicator due to the time required for design and construction. Jacksonville has a growing economy and still has a robust design market due to backlog but signs are starting to show that overall construction is starting to slow with construction costs playing a large part.

We are working much harder at developing design solutions for our clients that focus on more spaceefficient design to require less actual square footage, on more economical materials, and systems that require less maintenance to reduce future operating costs.

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

Dan Croft

President, ARCO Design/Build, Jacksonville and Mobile

The primary economic issue facing the Northeast Florida commercial construction industry in 2025 will be navigating the conditions driven by post-election policy shifts.

At ARCO Design/Build, we are approaching 2025 with significant optimism. Both our new and repeat clients are bullish on the local market, as well as across the nation.

While we prefer to focus on Jacksonville, being able to execute projects coast-to-coast allows us to diversify our market pursuits.

We are fortunate to have built strong partnerships with capital groups and proven developers who are eager to invest in local industrial projects.

This product type is a reliable asset class providing strong returns.

We have a unique ability to build a comprehensive team to ensure a project is successful not only in its execution and delivery, but also in value and financial return.

This has been, and will continue to be, a key driver in our business.

ECONOMIC FORECAST ISSUE

FILM AND TV

Sharon Y. Cobb

Screenwriter; member, Writers Guild of America West, and the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Television, Motion Picture & Commercial Production

The primary economic issue facing Jacksonville’s film and television industry is the lack of Florida economic incentives for producers to bring production to our state.

It’s the incentives, stupid.

If you were producing a film or TV project, would you choose to shoot in a location that offered no grants, rebates, or tax credits which would increase your budget by 30% or more? Of course not.

Even many films or TV series that appear to be set in Florida are shot in states with generous incentives like Georgia or Louisiana.

Our state is the only one in the Southeast that does not have an incentive program.

Even though the not-for-profit organization, Film Florida, promotes our state worldwide, without a significant impact on budgets, productions go elsewhere.

The Jacksonville Film & Television Office, led by Todd Roobin, offers some local incentive programs and grants.

But the lack of big budgets doesn’t stop inspired Jacksonville filmmakers who self-finance genre features and find economic returns through streaming services.

But until Florida baits the hook with competitive incentives, producers aren’t biting.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Jenny Urcan

Director of Site/Land Development, BGE Inc.

The primary economic issue facing the civil engineering industry will be navigating the economic challenges posed by the new state stormwater quality requirements that will be enforced by the end of 2025.

These regulations will impose stricter limits on nutrient discharge, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, which are primary contributors to water pollution.

The regulations are designed to mitigate the adverse effects of stormwater runoff on wetlands, rivers and coastal water bodies.

Compliance with these requirements will have substantial economic implications for businesses, developers, and municipalities.

The costs associated with upgrading infrastructure, implementing best management practices, and ongoing maintenance can be significant.

To address these economic challenges, we are actively collaborating with the state regulatory agencies.

Our goal is to develop cost-effective strategies that align with the state’s nutrient removal requirements while minimizing the financial burden on our clients. Through collaboration, innovation and strategic planning, we aim to ensure that our clients can successfully adapt to these changes and continue to thrive in a sustainable and compliant manner.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT

Bryan Moll

CEO, Gateway Jax

The primary economic issue facing Downtown development in general is sourcing construction financing.

Sourcing construction financing for new deals continues to be one of the biggest challenges for Downtown Jacksonville’s development activity, although the debt markets are beginning to thaw and are in better shape than at the end of 2023. Jacksonville has strong economic and demographic fundamentals which has helped attract interest from those debt providers with capacity to lend to development deals.

Because of Gateway Jax’s relationships, the scale of our inaugural project, Pearl Square, and the holistic vision of mixed-use commercial real estate (and the value that brings to an urban environment), we are attracting interest from both debt and equity providers.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Irvin PeDro Cohen

Executive Director, LISC Jacksonville

The primary economic issue facing community development is the growing demand for access to capital, particularly in underserved markets.

LISC Jacksonville is going to be aggressive in 2025 in its efforts to provide capital primarily in the housing sector to get homes built in ZIP codes 32204, 32206, 32208, 32209 and 32211.

We are partnering with the United Way of Northeast Florida and making capital available to builders who have an interest in helping us fill some of the housing needs in our urban core.

ECONOMIC FORECAST ISSUE

HEALTH CARE

Patrick L. Green

CEO, UF Health Jacksonville

The primary issue facing health care continues to be challenges with the cost of care, especially as it relates to our workforce, supply chain and reimbursement.

In the highly competitive landscape of health care, the demand for qualified workforce members far exceeds their current availability. Future projections do not show significant improvement, so we must continue to reinvest in our people and show them how much we value their expertise.

At the same time, inflation continues to drive up the cost of supplies, and recent weather events that impacted our vendors only reinforced the reality that we are vulnerable in the supply chain.

Finally, reimbursement for our services and valuebased care is another issue facing our field.

Access to care, provided by the right provider at a cost and at a time that is convenient, requires recruitment and retention of the best and the brightest.

This is no small task, but UF Health Jacksonville is committed to finding solutions that will allow us to continue to provide outstanding care to every part of our community.

INVESTMENT BANKING

Bill Sorenson

CEO, Heritage Capital Group

Managing Director, Business Valuation Inc.

The primary economic issue facing investment banking in Northeast Florida is the readiness of business owners to sell.

Northeast Florida continues to be a top market in one of the top states for capital investment by financial and strategic buyers.

This is great news for local business owners, and many are being solicited to sell.

However, investors are looking at opportunities with increased scrutiny due to higher lending costs and lingering economic uncertainty.

We are advising both existing and prospective clients to take measures to ensure their internal accounting controls, financial reporting, customer and vendor relationships, and management structure can withstand intense due diligence which increases the probability of a successful transaction.

Well-managed companies are attractive in any economic cycle, so we want to be sure owners are ready in this strong cycle for Northeast Florida.

HOMELESS SERVICES

Dawn Gilman

CEO, Changing Homelessness

The primary economic challenge facing the homeless service sector is insufficient and unpredictable funding.

Most programs rely on a mix of federal, state and local grants, which often limit who a provider can provide services to and fail to meet the growing demand for services.

Additionally, private donations and philanthropic support fluctuate, leaving providers unable to sustain long-term solutions.

This financial instability hampers systemic progress, making it difficult to implement comprehensive, lasting solutions to end homelessness.

Rising costs of housing, health care, and staffing compound the issue. The lack of affordable housing further exacerbates the crisis, forcing service providers to allocate more resources toward emergency responses.

Locally, we have seen this play out in funding discussions.

In the comprehensive plan put together by nonprofit organizations and partners, the total annual need was $16 million. The mayor put forward $10 million in the city of Jacksonville budget, which was then zeroed out. Solving the challenge of homelessness requires resources to fully implement a comprehensive community plan.

RESTAURANTS

Rebecca Gonzalez

Owner, Creator, 1928 Cuban Bistro

The primary economic issue facing my fast-casual restaurant, 1928 Cuban Bistro, is the rising cost of ingredients and labor.

To address this challenge, we are prioritizing strict inventory control and weekly budget management. By training our staff on effective inventory tracking and portion control, we can reduce waste and ensure that we stay within budgetary constraints.

This includes implementing standardized portion sizes to maintain consistency and minimize excess usage of ingredients.

In response to increasing labor costs, which is a common concern in our industry, we are offering extra benefits to attract and retain talent.

These include free meals, paid vacation and sick days, flexible hours, and fostering a positive work atmosphere. By focusing on these strategies, we aim to maintain operational efficiency while providing quality service, ensuring our competitiveness in the market.

MILITARY AFFAIRS

Jacksonville Director, Military Affairs and Veterans Department

The primary economic issue facing Northeast Florida regarding Department of Defense decisions is the assignment of the new USS Constellation Frigate class ships to Naval Station Mayport to replace the Littoral Combat Ships that have been retired well ahead of their service life.

The Jacksonville Military Affairs and Veterans Department works with industry partners to provide consistent federal advocacy for Department of Defense investment in the infrastructure and missions of Northeast Florida military bases.

The annual area economic impact of the military is $12.1 billion, more than 10% of the total economy. Area military facilities continue to enjoy strong support in Congress, and the Department of Defense. The Navy remains fully supportive of Naval Air Station Jacksonville with the P-8 squadrons, as well as Naval Station Mayport, with basing of the MQ-4C Triton.

The volume of ship repair and maintenance assigned by the Navy to area shipyards is an ongoing concern, as the work is necessary to maintain the skilled labor base.

The Navy recently announced that Constellation FFG class ships will be homeported on the East Coast. Efforts to highlight with Navy leadership the many strategic, operational, and training benefits of Mayport are ongoing.

ECONOMIC FORECAST ISSUE

NONPROFITS

Dawn Lockhart

CEO, Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida

The primary economic issue facing the nonprofit industry is the capacity to pay competitive wages to recruit and retain the professional staff necessary to deliver high impact services.

The nonprofit workforce shortage is dramatically impacting the capacity of the sector to deliver high quality services.

Organizational size, geographic location, roles and responsibilities and funding and budget all play a role in the capacity of the organization to recruit and retain the talent needed.

The sector is addressing this urgent issue by increasing strategic partnerships, sharing back-office services, evaluating mergers and acquisitions and most importantly, ensuring that the true cost of services is being annually evaluated to avoid the scarcity trap.

By understanding the full cost to deliver professional services, the sector can negotiate better grant and contract terms that permit the ability to fully compensate staff.

The constant rotation of underpaid staff has left the sector unable to consistently to meet the community demands.

The public, private and philanthropic sectors must work together to address this issue.

Without these essential personnel, the community will not be prepared to adequately respond to the next crisis on top of the daily demands that are already overburdening the field.

PORT AND LOGISTICS

Eric Green CEO, Jacksonville Port Authority

The primary economic issue facing the port/logistics industry is geopolitical tensions impacting global trade.

Ongoing wars in the Mideast and Ukraine, terrorist attacks in the Red Sea, proposed trade policy changes and labor unrest all create uncertainty for companies engaged in global trade.

At the same time, the world’s largest container shipping lines are realigning into new alliances that will change how and where these carriers service global ports.

Meanwhile, JaxPort is faring well partly due to the diversity we have built among our business lines and trade lanes.

Because we are not completely leveraged in handling only one cargo type or doing business in only one part of the world, we have spread our risk widely and can better absorb a localized disruption in one trade lane. We see strength in our diversity.

NORTHEAST FLORIDA ECONOMY

Albert Loh

Interim Dean, University of North Florida Coggin College of Business

The primary economic issue facing the Northeast Florida economy is managing growth sustainably amidst challenges like labor shortages, rising costs of living, infrastructure demands, and heightened household and business debt exacerbated by high interest rates and inflationary pressures.

Northeast Florida is tackling growth challenges by leveraging its appeal to attract workforce and businesses, strengthening the local economy.

Jacksonville’s role as a logistics hub is expanding through port upgrades, airport expansion, nearshoring opportunities, and investments in intermodal facilities.

Real estate projects are tackling housing affordability.

To address labor shortages, partnerships with educational institutions like UNF are rolling out programs in fintech, AI and advanced manufacturing to build a skilled workforce.

Flexible work options and vocational training initiatives are also helping retain talent, while infrastructure upgrades in transportation and utilities support the region’s expansion.

It’s all about balancing growth with innovation and future-proofing the economy.

InLight Real Estate pays almost $27M for North Jacksonville industrial land

The Ponte Vedra Beach-based investor intends to develop Eastport Logistics Park along Eastport Road.

BY KAREN BRUNE MATHIS EDITOR AT LARGE

InLight Real Estate Partners closed on the deal Dec. 20 to buy about 135 acres in North Jacksonville from First Zion Holdings LLC for almost $26.75 million to develop an industrial project called Eastport Logistics Park.

Through Eastport Jacksonville Property Owner LLC, InLight bought the land along

Eastport Road from three Zion-affiliated entities.

The deed, executed Dec. 20, was posted Dec. 27 with the Duval County Clerk of Court.

InLight says the park is designed for about 1.79 million square feet of space.

The Colliers commercial real estate firm in Jacksonville is marketing the site.

A Colliers brochure says the park will start delivering buildings in the first quarter of 2026, meaning there will be space available then for tenant build-out.

Colliers executives Guy Preston, Seda Preston and Jack Heed are the landlord representatives for InLight.

Guy Preston posted Dec. 25 on LinkedIn that the park is “in Jacksonville’s highly

City Council – Public Hearing Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM

LOCATION: City of Jacksonville Council Chambers City Hall at St. James 117 West Duval Street, 1st Floor Jacksonville, Florida 32202

A public hearing will be held on the abovementioned day and time at the City of Jacksonville Council Chambers, City Hall at St. James, 117 West Duval Street, 1st Floor, Jacksonville, Florida 32202, before the full City Council of the City of Jacksonville, Florida, (“City Council”) to consider the elements of a petition (“Petition”) filed by Hawk Normandy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Petitioner”), to consider the adoption of Ordinance 2024-983, establishing a community development district to be known as the Normandy II Community Development District (“District”), as authorized and provided for in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. A copy of the Petition is available for public inspection in the Office of Legislative Services, located on the 4th Floor of City Hall, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Interested parties may appear at the meetings and be heard at the public hearing with respect to the proposed ordinance.

The information presented at the meetings and hearing will be used to afford the Petitioner, landowners, any affected units of local government, and the general public, a fair and adequate opportunity to appear and present oral and written comments regarding the establishment of the District. If adopted, the ordinance will establish the District, name its initial Board of Supervisors, grant the District the right to exercise the additional powers described in Section 190.012(2)(a) related to parks and recreational facilities and Section 190.012(2)(d) security powers, and designate the land to be serviced by the District.

The development was previously known as Diamond Timber Trails. The land area proposed to be served by the District is located generally south of Normandy Boulevard/(SR-228), north of the county line between Duval and Clay County, east of Mcclelland Road, and west of Solomon Road that turns into Manning Cemetery Road. The District will comprise approximately 527.56 acres of land. The boundaries of the lands proposed to be served by the District are outlined in the map depicted in this notice. The Petitioner has proposed that the District will construct or acquire certain infrastructure improvements in order to serve the land within the District.

By way of information, a community development district is a local unit of special purpose government authorized by statute to ensure the provision of infrastructure to serve community developments subject to state and local regulatory requirements governing the lawful use and development of the property. Establishment of a district pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, is not a development order under Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. All planning, permitting and other regulatory requirements pertaining to development within the land area will be in accordance with general and special law.

The City Council will conduct the public hearing in accordance with Section 190.005, Florida Statutes, and determine whether to establish the District by ordinance. The purpose of the public hearing is to consider whether the petition meets the six factors listed in Section 190.005(1)(e), Florida Statutes A statement of estimated regulatory costs (“SERC”) was prepared by Breeze Connected, LLC, in compliance with Section 120.541, Florida Statutes, as required by Section 190.005, Florida Statutes. The complete text of the SERC is contained as Exhibit H to the Petition. By way of summary, the SERC indicates the type of individuals and entities most likely to be affected by the ordinance are the landowners within the District. The SERC estimates that establishment and enforcement costs to the above-described entities will be modest; and, that there will be little to no negative impact on state and local revenues from the establishment of the District. Further, the SERC provides that future property owners within the District will be affected by the proposed ordinance to the extent that the District issues debt for the construction of infrastructure and undertakes operation and maintenance responsibility of that infrastructure. Finally, the SERC concludes that the establishment would have no negative impact on small business and that the City of Jacksonville is not a “small city” as defined by Section 120.52, Florida Statutes

Interested persons are advised that, if a person decides to appeal any decision made by the City Council with respect to any matter considered at a hearing, he or she will need a record of the proceedings, and that, for such purpose, he or she may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

Persons needing special accommodations to attend any hearing or meeting noticed hereinabove shall contact the Office of Legislative Services at 904-255-5122 not less than 48 hours before a hearing or meeting in order to make arrangements.

CITY GOVERNMENT

How the stadium deal went from introduction to passage in 2 weeks

Council member Ron Salem details the approval process and praises city staff as the “real heroes.”

When Mayor Donna Deegan delivered the Jaguars stadium deal to the Jacksonville City Council on June 11, it marked the beginning of a leadership crucible for Council President Ron Salem.

With the team needing to take the deal to the mid-October meeting of the NFL owners for league approval, Salem reasoned that Council had to pass it by the end of June.

Council’s annual two-week summer break was set to start July 1, followed by the annual crunch of budget meetings into September before the Oct. 1 start of the city’s fiscal year.

Failing to meet the June 30 deadline, Salem feared, would stretch Council’s capacity to pass the stadium deal before the owners’ meeting to the limit. Or maybe past the limit.

But steering the agreement through the tight time frame involved a number of challenges, including:

A highly compressed process. Council’s normal sixweek approval timeline, which includes committee meetings and public hearings before the full Council, would need to be packed into two weeks.

An extensive and complex agreement. The deal involved nine individual agreements, including a 30-year lease and a community benefits package in addition to the stadium improvements. The legislation containing the deal comprised 336 pages of text loaded with legalese and bureaucratic language.

An unprecedented spend of tax dollars. At $1.4 billion, including $775 million in public funding, the stadium was by far the most expensive single public project in the city’s history.

Meeting Salem’s schedule could be described as a local government version of a twominute drill in football, in which teams employ a hurryup offense to score in the final seconds.

Some observers, including some Council members, thought the goal was unreachable.

Salem felt there was no other option. To him, keeping the Jaguars in Jacksonville was critical for maintaining the city’s prestige as an NFL city, an asset for attracting economic development to Northeast Florida, an element of the community fabric and more.

This is the story of how the approval came about, as told by Salem to the Daily Record.

The effort involved involved teamwork, sacrifice, leadership and fortitude, all mixed with a heightened sense of urgency.

IN THE BEGINNING

During the fall of 2023, Salem received a call from Jaguars President Mark Lamping inviting him to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell was in Jacksonville for the Jaguars’ Dec. 4 Monday Night Football game versus Cincinnati.

Meeting in Jaguars owner Shad Khan’s office, Salem said he told Goodell he would need 60 days to get the deal approved.

“I told him, ‘I think to put this on a regular six-week schedule may be asking a lot,’” he said.

“We may need more time than that. So I think 60 days is kind of the minimum. He said, ‘So what you’re telling me, Mr. President, is you need it by May 1.’ I said, ‘May 1 would be, to me, ideal.’”

Cut to the spring of 2024, and negotiations between the team and Deegan’s office pushed the delivery of the deal past May 1. On May 14, Deegan made a presentation to Council on the stadium deal’s framework. Two weeks of community meetings on the basics of the deal followed.

“At the end of May, I, in consultation with some others, said, ‘We’ve got to move on this. And we’ve got to start with a frame-

work of which of the agreements can we get done and finished,’” Salem said.

With a strategy in place, Salem met with Mary Staffopoulos, deputy general counsel, and Merriane Lahmeur, chief of legislative services.

“I said, ‘You guys need to devise a plan where we can take a vote in June,’” he said.

Lahmeur and Staffopoulos came back with a schedule that began with a Council workshop on the agreement followed by introduction of the legislation, Ordinance 2024-0904, at the June 11 regular Council meeting.

A required second reading was set for two days later at a Committee of the Whole meeting.

The second reading and advertised public hearing would take place June 17, followed by a Special Council meeting June 20 and another Committee of the Whole meeting June 21.

Final action was set for the June 25 regular Council meeting.

Salem asked staff to frontload Council action on the portions of the agreement that were generally acceptable to both the team and city – the low-hanging fruit, such as security and parking agreements, an amended lease for Daily’s Place and more.

That strategy was designed to keep the deal moving and clear the way for review of the more contentious parts.

Salem said some Council members told him they didn’t believe the plan would work. There was too much work to do and not enough time to do it, especially considering that Council members had to balance the schedule with their jobs.

“My response was, ‘If you don’t get every question answered that you have, we will not vote on this,’” Salem said.

“I will set up a structure that will allow you to get every question answered. But if, for some reason we’re not able to accommodate that, we will not vote.”

CARVING OUT THE CBA

In the public eye, the process appeared to progress smoothly. The workshop ended early, and a three-hour follow-up was canceled.

The meetings during the weeks of June 10 and June 17 went as scheduled, and the ordinance came out of the com-

mittee meetings with votes of 13-0-4 and 12-0-3, with some Council members abstaining due to potential conflicts involving their employers.

The committee knocked out the low-hanging fruit of the agreements quickly. The meetings ended early.

But behind the scenes, Salem was working to resolve an issue he feared would push the vote past the June 30 deadline.

Several Council members had pushed back on the $300 million community benefits agreement, which called for the city and team to each put up $150 million for workforce development, affordable housing and homelessness services in the Eastside neighborhood and beyond, plus money for park development.

Among the concerns were plans to frontload the city’s contribution into the early years of the 30-year agreement and the provision of $1 million for each Council district, which to some Council members had the optics of an enticement.

Salem felt that with the CBA attached, the ordinance wouldn’t pass by July.

“I knew if we debated it, it would just go on and on for days,” he said.

After securing a commitment from Vice President Randy White that he would schedule discussion of the CBA as a stand-alone after succeeding Salem as Council president July 1, Salem pressed the Deegan administration to decouple it for consideration after the rest of the deal was approved.

Deegan’s office resisted, concerned that Council would drop or dilute the CBA if it were considered on a stand-alone basis.

Salem said the issue prompted some “difficult discussions” between him and Mike Weinstein, Deegan’s chief negotiator and now her chief of staff.

“There was never hollering or

screaming or cussing, but I was telling him what the Council could and couldn’t do,” Salem said.

The Jaguars also considered the CBA a high priority, with Lamping telling Council members the team considered it vital to improve the neighborhood around the stadium.

Salem said he wanted the CBA to be separated, not only because it would threaten the approval timeline, but because he wanted it altered to focus more heavily on the Eastside.

The argument eventually carried the day.

Lamping told Council that although the Jaguars would prefer the CBA being part of the overall package, they would not object to it being split off.

Deegan’s office also loosened its demand for the full agreement to remain intact, but stressed that it expected Council to follow through on White’s commitment to revisit it.

In September, after several hours of hearings, Council approved a version of the CBA that included amendments but contained the full $300 million in funding.

“We spent two or three weeks

just on that part, which reinforced my concern that you could not do it” as part of the overall stadium agreement, Salem said.

‘THE REAL HEROES’

The compressed deadline also put an enormous strain on city staff members, who were pressed into doing work in two weeks that normally would have taken six or more.

Salem said that in addition to Staffopoulos and Lahmeur, staff deserving credit for the deal included the Council Auditor’s Office and Deputy General Counsel John Sawyer.

A team of auditors provided financial and policy analysis. Salem said Sawyer supplied an exhaustive legal review.

“They were working nights, they were working weekends,” Salem said. “I came in a couple of times on the weekends, and they’d be up in their offices working on this agreement.

“Without their diligence to put the hours in to get this done, we would not have gotten it done.

I may have been the orchestra leader, but these guys played just as important a part as anybody. They were the real heroes.”

Salem said White also played a pivotal role in committing to bring the CBA up for discussion.

The result was passage of the ordinance after 18½ hours of Council meetings.

Thanks to the auditors and other city staff, Salem had made good on his commitment not to take a vote until all questions from Council members were answered.

Lamping, when asked the night of the vote to comment on the process, said what the public saw was similar to watching a duck floating calmly through the water.

What the public didn’t see, he said, were the duck’s feet paddling furiously below the surface.

WHAT IF?

On Oct. 15, the NFL owners voted unanimously in favor of the agreement and CBA, the final approvals needed for each.

By then, the Jaguars had lost five of their first six games. This from a team for which Khan had expressed optimism in the preseason, saying, “Whatever we need to win, we have here.”

The team’s pratfall of a start, which extended to a 3-12 record heading into the final two weeks of the season, left Salem feeling more relieved that Council approved the deal on his schedule.

“I shudder to think what may have happened if we had gotten into September trying to deal with this,” he said.

Under that scenario, it’s imaginable that public opposition to the stadium deal could have increased, putting pressure on Council members to reject or alter it.

Even before the team’s poor start, some residents had argued that the deal should have been put to a public vote, was an unwise use of public funding and was a handout to the billionaire Khan, among other criticisms.

Salem has heard an earful of complaints as the losses piled up. He counters that during the 30-year duration of the agreement, the Jaguars are surely bound to have better teams.

Beyond that, he’s resolute that the team and the agreement are good for Jacksonville.

The benefits include improvements for the Eastside and the entire community, new parks that will help reinvigorate Downtown and will be maintained under long-term funding in the deal, and possibly a new sports entertainment district around the stadium.

“It was just so important we got it,” he said.

“We’re one of 32 places that have an NFL team, and Jacksonville, if you look at it, is one which you wouldn’t think would have one. So we are very, very fortunate to have it, and I’m glad the deal got done.”

MENTAL HEALTH: MAKE IT A PRIORITY

Attorneys face pressures that can make the holiday season especially tough. Learn how to recognize the signs and find support.

For many, the now-concluded holiday season is a time of joy, celebration and family.

For attorneys, however, it often brings a unique mix of challenges. The pressure to close out the year wrapping up cases, meeting client expectations and balancing a heavy workload can turn what should be a time of rest into a period of significant stress.

The holidays, instead of providing a chance to recharge, can sometimes mag-

nify the mental and emotional toll of our demanding profession.

This time of year can be particularly tough for attorneys who already struggle with mental health. Research shows that legal professionals face disproportionately high levels of stress, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.

According to the American Bar Association, nearly one-third of attorneys experience depression, and our profes-

New year and time for new resolutions: Let’s lawyer better

Here’s to filling 2025 with growth, connection and maybe even a little fun.

Happy New Year, Jacksonville legal community. You know what that means — it’s resolution season.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably already decided against the usual suspects like eating fewer cookies or actually going to the

gym. Let’s face it, January is hard enough without the added pressure of pretending kale is enjoyable.

So instead of those classic (and doomed) resolutions, let’s focus on something that can genuinely make your professional and personal life better: your involvement with the Jacksonville Bar Association.

I know what you’re thinking: “Craig, I’m already swamped.” Hear me out. These resolutions aren’t about adding stress,

they’re about making your life as a lawyer more rewarding, connected and maybe even a little fun.

Consider there resolutions: JOIN THE JACKSONVILLE BAR ASSOCIATION

If you’re not already a member of the JBA, let me ask you this: Why not? The JBA is more than just an organization. It’s a professional community where you can learn, connect and grow. Membership gives you access

to high-quality CLE programs, networking opportunities and events where you can meet colleagues who truly understand the unique challenges of the legal profession.

Being a member also gives you a great reason to step away from your desk once in a while.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to volunteer.

Did you make a New Year’s resolution? Is it a “SMART” goal (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound)?

Did you include pro bono among your 2025 goals? If not, there is no better time than now as a new year means new opportunities.

At Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, we have expanded several of our programs and are bringing back

others, including JALA’s Citizenship Day.

The Citizenship Day clinic is tentatively scheduled March 29 at the University of North Florida. This clinic is a collaboration of JALA’s Pro Bono and Immigration units, UNF, the Jacksonville University College of Law and the Jacksonville Bar Association Law Week and Hispanic and Latino Interest committees.

The goal is to assist eligible lawful permanent residents with their N-400 naturalizations applications so they may become U.S. citizens. Applicants will meet one-to-one with an attorney to fill out and review their application. Training for this clinic will be provided.

Also in March, JALA will host its annual Alternative Spring Break clinics.

During this weeklong community outreach project, law students assist low-income seniors with drafting advance directives, which include a power of attorney, living will, designation of health care surrogate and designation of preneed guardian.

Pro bono attorneys assist at the clinic to supervise students in creating the documents.

The first clinic is during the week of March 10, with students from Brooklyn Law School and Florida State University School of Law. The next week, JALA will host a clinic with law students from the University of Florida, JU and Stetson University.

If you are able to assist at a clinic for multiple days, one day, or even a half-day, please consider registering.

Our monthly clinics, such as our Veterans Legal Collaborative, Orange Park Library Ask-ALawyer and Conditions Clinic also need your support. Information about these opportunities can be found by clicking on “JALA Pro Bono Opportunities” at www. jaxlegalaid.org/pro-bono.

I encourage each of you to consider accepting a case for representation. More than half of our cases awaiting placement online are nonlitigious. Many involve requests for simple wills and advance directives, uncontested name changes and sealing/expungement.

However, there are many family law cases awaiting placement.

All I am asking is that you accept just one case. You are 100% covered under JALA’s malpractice insurance for all pro bono work done through us whether it be case related or noncase related. We will provide you with support during the course of your representation including access to Westlaw, training, expert attorney resources and may even cover costs.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to perform your pro bono work.

In furtherance of its support for pro bono, the state Supreme Court approved an amendment to The Florida Bar rules, which now allows attorneys to earn CLE credit for providing pro bono services. This rule change provides that attorneys may earn one hour of general CLE credit for every hour of pro bono work, up to five credit hours.

There is no better time than the beginning of a new year to continue or start your pro bono work. Together, let’s make 2025 a great year for pro bono.

There are myriad reasons to get involved in new year

I’ve never really been one for New Year’s resolutions. Knowing that about 90% of people fail at keeping resolutions, the endeavor to keep resolutions seemed rather fruitless to me. Instead, I have always opted to start my resolutions between Thanksgiving and Christmas, figuring if I can carry through on it during the holidays, I am much more likely to make it through the next year.

Spoiler: I am wrong about this. People fail to keep resolutions for a variety of reasons but researchers have settled on a few main ones based on the report “Why Most New Year’s Resolutions Fail,” published in 2023 by

People tend to set resolutions due to tradition rather than at points in time where a change is needed. My post-Thanksgiving resolution is just as likely to fail as the next person’s.

People tend to underestimate the existence of obstacles.

Resolutions are usually made on a hope upswing, with us feeling optimistic. But, optimism only goes so far when our 5 a.m. gym commitment rolls around on a morning where it’s 29 degrees and the bed is much snugglier and appealing.

People tend to set big goals when they really need to set smaller, easily achievable goals that build confidence and momentum.

People tend to keep their goals to themselves, but studies show that writing them down or telling someone increased the likelihood of success. Accountability partners are great to have. So, what goals do you have for 2025?

Generally, more than twothirds of people who set resolutions focus on improving their health.

In 2024, 59% wanted to save more money, 50% wanted to exercise more, 47% wanted to eat healthier, 40% wanted to spend more time with friends and family, 35% wanted to lose

weight, 26% wanted to reduce spending on living expenses, 19% wanted to spend less time on social media and 19% wanted to reduce work-related stress, according to America’s Top New Year’s Resolutions for 2024, Dec. 22, 2023, by Statista.

This year, I hope you will set a resolution to volunteer with Three Rivers Legal Services. Let me break it down for you:

TRADITION

Sadly, volunteering is not on the list of most popular resolutions, so you’re already bucking tradition. But, even more exciting is that you can start any day you want. Just shoot an email to volunteer@trls.org or sign up for a task/case at Florida Pro Bono Matters.

OBSTACLES

The obstacles to getting involved are pretty small. All you need is a big heart and an internet connection, but TRLS can help break them down with you.

You can do pro bono in your pajamas.

Not familiar with the subject matter? That’s okay. We have training materials, CLEs and mentors/co-counsel available to help you.

We are always in need of attorneys with backgrounds in family, housing, criminal and consumer law, especially bankruptcy and

small claims. Newly admitted? Our staff will review your pleadings and brainstorm with you and, where possible, we can provide you with samples or templates.

Don’t have malpractice insurance? We provide liability coverage and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.

Work out of your home? No sweat. With regional offices in Gainesville, Lake City, Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, we can provide office space. We can even receive mail for you, which we will scan and send via email.

Concerned about ongoing obligations? Most of our pro bono referrals are for limited and discrete issues (advice on a specific landlord/tenant issue, explain legal forms to a client, etc.) but attorneys are not expected to provide any representation beyond the parameters of the referral.

If we send you a will and the client wants to add on every advance directive known to Western civilization, you do not have to handle them. Just let us know of the new legal issue and we will take it from there.

Maybe the client has become nonresponsive or challenging to work with. Just let us know. Sometimes, cases need to be returned to us or closed outright. While it may not be the most satisfying outcome, it does happen.

If you already do pro bono, that’s great. Thank you. If you have a client reach out to you directly, you can send them to TRLS to be pre-screened and we can refer them directly back to you.

This way, you get all of the benefits of working with a trusted partner while also getting to screen the clients you work with first. Just send an email to volunteer@trls.org with the client’s name, phone number and legal issue so we can flag them at intake.

BIG GOALS

You don’t need to start by handling a federal impact litigation. We need people to lead community know-your-rights presentations, provide advice to clients, attend short clinics, and much, much more. If you have the will, we have the way.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Not only will TRLS be your accountability partner in the beginning, we support our volunteers throughout their tenure. Our staff check in with volunteers regularly throughout any case to ensure things are moving along and no assistance is needed.

I wish you success with your resolutions, no matter what they are, but sincerely hope you will add TRLS to your goals for 2025.

‘Fabulous 14’ graduate in 2025

The first Jacksonville University College of Law class will take the Bar exam this year.

With pleasure and pride, I welcome the new year by sharing a small sample of stories about Jacksonville University’s inaugural class of law students, known as the “Fabulous 14,” as they prepare to graduate in May 2025.

For example:

A professor recalls how one student “reminded me of a great old trial lawyer I had known” and knew right away she would be a great trial lawyer herself.

Sure enough he was gratified to congratulate her on getting one of the most prestigious advocacy jobs a new attorney can land.

Another professor relishes a story about exams when a student’s computer malfunctioned and she lost all her answers 45 minutes before the exam ended.

With poise and purpose the 1L recreated her answers by hand during the short remaining time. “I knew then,” her professor said, “that the students who had committed to this great adventure were up for any challenge.”

At the Fab 14’s first final exam, a classmate made a jaunty fashion statement, arriving in shorts and a sleeveless Chicago Bulls No. 23 basketball jersey. He explained, “Everyone knows that Michael Jordan was the finals champ. I want to be the champ of law finals.”

One student remembers before the final exam, “I wrote out the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on a whiteboard in one of the study rooms. Before we realized it, two classmates and I were deep into practice questions. When we finally decided to call it a night — or morning, at that point — we discovered that we had been locked out of the parking garage.”

The three students briefly considered spending the night in the law school, but were able to get back to their cars thanks to a security guard in the building. They all passed

the exam the next day.

“What stands out most to me from that night is the bond we formed. We could have easily gone our separate ways to deal with the situation, but instead, we stuck together. We were truly in it together — studying together, passing together and refusing to leave anyone behind. That bond is strong throughout the whole class,” the student said.

Several intrepid classmates describe their exhilaration and satisfaction midwifing the “Birth of a New Law School,” a news story in the Jacksonville Daily Record, published as the inaugural classes began.

They posed for pictures and gave interviews. One says, “I still have the clippings. This was a moment of immense pride for us, and we understood the gravity of the mission we had set out on … the audacity and bravery we had in deciding to join and build a brand-new law school.”

Looking back at a treasured group photo with JU President Tim Cost taken during orientation, one notes, “It’s funny … how much each of has changed individually and collectively… that one picture speaks a thousand words about where we were then and now. As we approach graduation, we are different in good ways, more confident and equipped for leadership roles.”

CLOSE-KNIT COHORT

Of the special, shared ties one student observes, “we are especially tight for our close knit first cohort. Over the course of our 2.5 years together, the Fabulous 14 have done more than just study together and argue with each other. We have watched our classmates get married and have children. Ten of us were able to attend a classmate’s wedding, which was one of the first of many weddings and important personal occasions I expect the Fab 14 to attend for one another.”

Unfailingly, the inaugural class cared about and supported each other, as when a classmate coped with a newborn child’s health challenge.

And on a lighter but calorically heavier note, I initially was puzzled about the source of deliveries of a continuous supply of snacks and candy which continues to this day.

I learned it is a gift from one generous student to the law school community, as was the sudden appearance in the communal cafe of a popular video arcade game.

Describing the essence of the Fabulous 14 one of them writes, “I am constantly inspired when I reflect on how unique our class is. We are a remarkable collection of individuals, each bring-

They also remember the boisterous ribbon cutting with Mayor Donna Deegan, President Cost and many civic, bench, Bar, alumni and university leaders after we moved into our gorgeous permanent home at 121 W. Forsyth St.

Some still laugh about our first ribbon cutting in 2022 when we opened VyStar Tower doors to law students for the first time. I can’t forget the look on thenMayor Lenny Curry’s and President Cost’s faces, and the giggles that ran through the assembled 14, when I said, “I would not trade one of them for any other law student anywhere in the United States, not one … maybe two or three of them, and they know who they are, but not one of them.”

A GROUP OF TRAILBLAZERS

As I said at the opening convocation ceremony of our fabulous first 14 students, our future has been in their hands as much as theirs is in the hands of our faculty and staff. Our first students are trailblazers for the generations of students who will follow them.

ing a distinct background and set of skills to the table. I share a special connection with every member of the Fab 14. Together, we take immense pride in being the founding class. Above all else, I am proud that all of us started together, worked, grown, matured, and learned together, and now, we are all making it to the end together.”

NEW ORGANIZATIONS

Several inaugural students cited memories of establishing and running all the new student organizations. One spotlighted the fledgling Law Review hosting its first symposium in February 2024 and organizing the upcoming symposium on AI in February 2025.

She reports, “The first event packed the River House on the Arlington campus. I think the upcoming symposium will be an even bigger success, and past experience has taught us that we will definitely need lots more chairs!”

A sparkler in our constellation of stars reports many favorite memories, but cites “as the top, representing the school in the Robert Orseck Moot Court competition this past summer.”

Note that she won the internal moot court competition as well. Her other highlights include “helping to build the history of the school with my law school family, the bonds I have created

and the memories I have made which will last forever. I am looking forward to cherishing this last semester.”

One of our originals notes, “One of my favorite memories was our small awards ceremony and celebration at the conclusion of our first year. It felt like a family gathering, not a school event. Although I love the new campus and the many new faces, it is bittersweet when I think back to the 18th floor of the VyStar Tower and my many days in class looking out into the horizon, wondering if we’d make it. Those days bonded us together, made us the class we have become.”

Another fondly says of the VyStar Tower, “It was a unique and intimate workspace for students, faculty and staff to share. Having a small space brought us all closer together.”

A memory that jumps out for many students and, frankly, is one of, if not the, highlights of my long career, is the moment on Feb. 29, 2024, when we entered each classroom and shared the news about receiving initial American Bar Association accreditation.

One student writes, “I am sure that many of my classmates will agree with me in saying that that was a great moment of pride (and relief) for all of us, and I will look back on that moment fondly for the rest of my life.”

During vacation breaks, our students provide many valuable hours of free legal work for those in need in our community. Our students know how to enjoy themselves and each other’s company, consistent with the ever-present obligation that they must adhere to the code of professional conduct.

The JU College of Law is not the place where either duty or fun goes to die. May that ever be so. Our students created from scratch a vibrant, engaged and productive Student Bar Association. Under SBA auspices, numerous new student organizations drafted and adopted governing documents, elected or selected officers, and have secured a faculty or staff adviser who has agreed to provide support.

Each and every one of our first 14 are characters. A full Whitman’s sampler of them.

But knowing them as I do, I can now drop the faux caveat from the first ribbon cutting and vouch for their fine character. Soon it will be my proud privilege to do so when they apply for their law license.

Those who are involved with our law school and those in Jacksonville and beyond who meet and observe our students for the first time find it difficult to curb their enthusiasm.

We justifiably expect our Fabulous 14 to become fabulous lawyers who will make us proud and the future better.

What a great thought to brighten the new year.

Naturalization ceremony offers lessons for citizens new and old

Our profession can help strengthen the bonds between citizens and the law.

Naturalization ceremonies are a cornerstone of our nation’s democratic spirit, celebrating the diversity and strength new Americans bring to the U.S.

The Jacksonville Bar Association’s constant presence at these ceremonies exemplifies its dedication to fostering civic engagement and supporting the rule of law.

On Aug. 15, 2024, 4th Circuit Judge Tatiana Salvador gave keynote remarks at a naturalization ceremony in Jacksonville, welcoming new citizens with remarks that were both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Salvador’s speech highlighted the enduring values enshrined in the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America — values that resonate deeply with those in the legal profession who also swear an oath to uphold justice and the U.S. Constitution.

That oath, administered during naturalization ceremonies, requires individuals to “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.”

This pledge is a profound commitment to democracy, freedom and the rule of law.

Similarly, attorneys taking the Oath of Admission to The Florida Bar pledge to “never reject, from any consideration personal to myself, the cause of the defenseless or oppressed.”

Both oaths emphasize the importance of justice, equality and active civic engagement. Salvador eloquently captured this connection in her address, stating, “It is the Constitution and laws that give us the freedom and democracy, the liberty and justice that we cherish and value.”

She reminded the audience that becoming a citizen means embracing both the privileges and the responsibilities of life in a democracy. For the legal profession, these ceremonies offer an opportunity to reflect on our own oaths and recommit to the ideals of service and justice.

Salvador’s personal story of her parents’ immigration journey from Colombia provided a poignant example of the courage and determination it takes to become an American.

She encouraged the new citizens to preserve their cultural heritages, emphasizing that their traditions and values enrich the fabric of American society.

“You did not renounce, nor should you ever renounce, the love and devotion you may carry in your hearts for your native land, its people, its heritage and culture,” Salvador said.

She reminded the audience that America’s strength lies in its diversity and that the contributions of immigrants have always been central to the nation’s success.

Her words serve as a call to action for our members to support these new citizens as they navigate their responsibilities.

Attorneys, as advocates and

educators, are uniquely positioned to help bridge the gap between the legal system and the broader community, ensuring that every citizen feels empowered to contribute to society.

Salvador’s remarks also underscored the responsibilities that come with freedom. She reminded the audience that citizenship is not only a privilege but also a duty to uphold the rights of others and contribute to the common good.

“You’ve done the hard work of becoming a U.S. citizen, but the hard work does not stop there,” she said.

“The freedoms and liberties guaranteed by democracy come with the responsibility to participate in the democratic process by voting, not casually or carelessly, but in a way that is thoughtful and informed.”

The presence of the Duval County Supervisor of Elections

at the ceremony highlighted a critical aspect of civic responsibility: voting.

By providing new citizens with the tools to register to vote, the Supervisor of Elections reinforced the importance of active participation in democracy.

Salvador echoed that sentiment, urging the new citizens to engage thoughtfully in the democratic process.

“Learn about the issues, learn about the candidates, be engaged and active citizens,” she said.

“There is no better way to preserve our democracy than to do that.”

Naturalization ceremonies are a celebration of hope, resilience and the enduring promise of the American dream. For the legal community, they are also a call to action to support and engage with new citizens as they begin their journey in a new country.

By partnering with the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, the JBA furthers its mission to serve the community and uphold justice.

Whether through education initiatives, advocacy efforts or direct outreach, the legal profession has a vital role to play in strengthening the bonds between citizens and the law.

Salvador’s address captured the essence of this shared mission: “The United States of America is a place where we can maintain our individuality but be part of something bigger. A place where we can contribute our individual talents and fulfill our personal ambitions and secure new opportunity for ourselves and our families.”

As Salvador so eloquently stated, “This is the glue that binds us as Americans.”

Look into past and take new approach to new year

virtues of hard work, professionalism and the Oath of Admission to The Florida Bar.

Let’s focus less on the number of steps we take each day and more on their direction.

Do you remember how grateful you were when you received your first job offer as an attorney? Do you recall the instant sense of dedication and loyalty you felt to our justice system? Remember striving for the knowledge to help in law school?

We would all do well to revisit how humbled we were then. And act accordingly.

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary,” British businessman Vidal Sassoon said.

With a new year come calls for a new approach.

From diets, to health and wellness, to financial freedom, we are urged to start anew. I’m going to suggest the opposite.

I’m suggesting that we reexamine the value of the values that brought us this far. I’m suggesting that we revisit the

Do you remember the late nights and early mornings in your first years as an attorney?

Do you remember when you didn’t know what you know now? Do you recall the struggle with what we now call work/life balance?

There are at least three forces competing for your day: work,

self, and the three F’s – faith, family and friends.

The solution to making them all fit into 24 hours is simple, and difficult – less self. Sacrifice. More of the other two will sustain you. And likely benefit you.

With today’s technology, we can work from almost any location, at almost any time.

I’m not suggesting that we don’t take time off, unplug, and give our time and attention to other deserving persons and endeavors.

I am suggesting that we take advantage of technology and work when the opportunity presents itself. Less of us can be more.

“The essence of professionalism is the focus upon the work and its demands, while we are doing it, to the exclusion of all else,” American author Steven Pressfield said.

Just as important as how much we work is how we work. Our attitude. Our treatment of others. Our conscientiousness. Our willingness to do the right thing,

not for our sake, but for the sake of our profession.

We are reminded in the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct that, “A lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system, and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice.”

Read that excerpt again. As attorneys and judges, each of us is responsible for pulling on the rope. Not in any direction, in the right direction. Each of us has a duty to ensure due process and fairness in all that we do. Each of us has a duty to preserve confidence in our branch of government.

“I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Florida.” – Oath of Admission to The Florida Bar.

That’s the first line of the oath we took as attorneys, and perhaps the most overlooked. We all recall where we were and who was present when we raised our right hand with such reverence.

But do we remember what it was we promised to do?

How are we doing with our pledge? Are we acting with “fairness, integrity and civility” to opposing parties and their counsel? Do we “maintain the respect due to courts”? Have we employed “means only as are consistent with truth and honor”?

And because we took an oath to support them, should we not re-read our Constitutions as we open a new calendar? To better inform ourselves. To remind us why we do what we do. Do we not practice in the greatest system of justice in the world?

Are our clients, colleagues and the court not deserving of our best efforts?

So, as we start this new year, let us look to our past. And learn from it.

The potential impact of new rules in Florida

JOHN MCCORVEY JR. MILES MEDIATION & ARBITRATION

How civil cases proceed has changed and that will likely affect mediation.

Recent changes to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, effective Jan. 1, 2025, may well be among the most sweeping and impactful ever implemented.

The recent revisions to the rules result in a drastic shift in the way civil cases are managed in the judicial system. Traditionally, cases in state court were

Shoup:

attorney driven, meaning the cases moved through the system in large measure based on the actions or inaction of counsel of record.

Under the “new rules,” civil cases are managed by the court. New cases will be assigned to one of three tracks upon filing –complex, general or streamlined.

Courts are now required to issue a case management order in each case that specifies the projected trial period and at least eight specified deadlines, which “must be strictly enforced unless changed by court order.”

A detailed description of all of the new rules is beyond the scope of this article.

However, one change in particular could have an impact on mediation.

The rules now require initial disclosures similar to those in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Specifically, within 60 days of service of the complaint, without awaiting a discovery request, the parties must disclose the names of persons likely to have

discoverable information, a copy or description of all documents that the disclosing party may use to support its claims or defenses, a computation for each category of damages claimed by the disclosing party and a copy of any insurance policy that may satisfy a possible judgment in the action.

Traditionally, the information that must now be disclosed within 60 days may not have been known for several months, if not years, from the time the lawsuit commenced.

Armed with such information, counsel and the parties will be in a far better position to mediate the case earlier because the information needed to make an educated settlement decision will be known.

Historically, it has not been unusual for a case that has been pending for six months, a year or more to make its way to mediation without any meaningful discovery having been conducted.

Cases in which very limited, or no discovery, has been con-

ducted can be difficult to settle because the case still involves mere allegations without evidence to support such allegations.

Under the new rules, this will no longer occur since meaningful discovery will take place through the initial disclosure. The initial disclosure requirements will undoubtedly result in an up-front increase in litigation cost. Parties are often more motivated to settle in mediation when they have experienced the expense of litigation.

When parties arrive at mediation with allegations absent any proof in support of such allegations, they are far more likely to stand on “principle,” thinking they know what the evidence will show versus having evidence to support their claims.

However, when the parties have experienced significant litigation expense, they are far more inclined to settle the case than if they are not financially invested.

They are also more knowledgeable regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their case

after some discovery has been conducted, leading to better settlement decisions.

The initial disclosure requirements and associated expense may also make pre-suit mediation a more attractive alternative. Particularly in cases that are not factually complicated and don’t require extensive discovery, pre-suit mediation and the avoidance of what will now be significant expense at the onset of the case may lead parties to attempt resolve their disputes before filing suit to avoid the expense of litigation.

It would be advisable for counsel to evaluate the potential effectiveness of pre-suit mediation and discuss it with their clients as a viable option to resolve a dispute under the right set of circumstances.

Five resolutions that are practical, meaningful

event since the “Friends” finale, let’s make 2025 the year you reengage.

We host a variety of events designed to meet your needs, whether it’s staying sharp with CLEs, connecting with peers at socials or just escaping your inbox for an hour or two.

You don’t have to go to everything — this isn’t a class attendance policy.

But showing up now and then could surprise you with new ideas, valuable connections or even just a good laugh.

TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF

I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve worked with enough of you long enough to know this: Attorneys

are amazing at solving other people’s problems but just as terrible at prioritizing their own well-being.

Make it a point to take care of yourself. Schedule time for a real lunch away from your desk. Block out your evenings for family, friends or hobbies.

And when you need a break, take one. No client emergency is worth

running yourself into the ground. Remember, a healthy, happy lawyer is an effective lawyer. I can’t offer a magic formula for balance, but I can tell you that stepping away from the grind every now and then will do wonders for your mind and your mood.

GIVE BACK

One of the best things about

our legal community is its heart. You have the skills, knowledge and ability to make a real difference and 2025 is the perfect time to do it.

Find a way to give back, whether it’s volunteering for a local cause, taking on pro bono work or supporting community initiatives that speak to you. You’ll not only help others, you’ll also remind yourself why you became a lawyer in the first place.

CELEBRATE THE LITTLE WINS

In the hustle of deadlines and casework, it’s easy to forget to celebrate progress, especially the small victories, but those small wins are what keep you going.

Maybe you finally tackled that case file you’ve been avoiding. Maybe you got through a tough

week without pulling out your hair. Maybe you just showed up to an event and had a great conversation.

Whatever it is, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. You’ve earned it.

So there you have it — five resolutions that are practical, meaningful and more fun than dedicating yourself to cutting carbs.

Whether you’re joining the JBA as a new member, attending your first event in years or simply carving out time to care for yourself, the new year is full of opportunities.

Here’s to a 2025 filled with growth, connection and maybe even a little fun. I look forward to seeing you at a JBA event soon. I promise there’s no kale involved.

George: Enter the new year with renewed focus, energy

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15

sion continues to face higher rates of burnout compared to most others.

Add holiday expectations, family dynamics, festive obligations and the pressure to look happy and cheerful when you might not feel that way and it becomes even harder to manage.

As a legal community, it’s important that we recognize these challenges and support each other in facing them.

RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS OF MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES

Mental health issues often don’t look the same for everyone. Sometimes the signs are obvious, but often, they’re subtle.

Here are some key indicators that attorneys, whether yourself or a colleague, may be struggling:

Irritability or anxiety including shorter tempers, increased frustration and a heightened sense of stress dur-

ing challenging situations.

Depression or mood swings including persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness or a noticeable drop in energy.

Burnout symptoms such as physical and emotional exhaustion that makes it difficult to engage fully with clients, colleagues or even family.

Difficulty concentrating like having trouble staying organized, making decisions or focusing on tasks.

Physical symptoms can be headaches, stomach issues and disruptions to sleep that often are linked to unaddressed mental health concerns.

STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING HOLIDAY STRESS

While the holidays bring additional pressures, there are practical ways to reduce stress and protect your mental health during this season.

Set realistic boundaries: It’s easy to overcommit both profes-

sionally and socially this time of year. Learn to say “no” when needed.

Setting clear limits with clients, colleagues and family members can help create the breathing room necessary for rest and recovery.

Prioritize self-care: Attorneys are notorious for putting themselves last. Make self-care a priority.

Get enough sleep, exercise regularly and eat well. Even small changes like taking a walk, listening to music, or reading for pleasure can help improve mood and reduce stress.

Seek professional help: If stress, anxiety or depression feels overwhelming, don’t hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional.

The Florida Bar, through the Florida Lawyers Helpline (833351-9355) offers free confidential counseling services specifically for attorneys.

Stay connected: Remember,

you’re not alone. Reach out to trusted friends, colleagues or family members. Sharing your experiences, whether in casual conversation or through formal support groups, can help ease feelings of isolation.

Practice gratitude and mindfulness: Small shifts in perspective can make a big difference. Taking time to express gratitude or practicing mindfulness exercises like deep breathing or meditation can help you refocus, reduce anxiety and stay present in the moment.

HOW

THE LEGAL COMMUNITY CAN HELP

As a profession, we must do better to support attorneys through the unique challenges we face, particularly during the holidays.

Law firms, Bar associations and other organizations should prioritize mental health by providing resources, promoting open dialogue and encouraging a

culture where seeking help is not only normalized but encouraged.

The holiday season is a good reminder that mental health is critical, not just for personal well-being but for professional success.

Attorneys who prioritize selfcare, establish boundaries and seek support when needed will find it easier to navigate this season and enter the new year with renewed focus and energy. Together, as a community, we can ensure that no attorney faces these challenges alone. With the right support, tools and understanding, we can make the holidays a bit less stressful for everyone.

Take care of yourselves, take care of each other and remember that sometimes, it’s OK to say “I’ve had enough” and take a break. You’ve earned it.
