POWER RATING DOWNTOWN By The Florida Times-Union Editorial Board Downtown development drives strong opening quarter of <strong>2019</strong> 7 8 6 6 MIN MAX MIN MAX MIN MAX MIN MAX PUBLIC SAFETY LEADERSHIP HOUSING INVESTMENT Serious crime remains low, and Hemming Park has virtually eliminated even minor offenses (at least until late night). Soon all those new apartments will fill up and put more and more solid citizens on the streets. PREVIOUS: 7 A search firm is looking for a new DIA CEO, who will have a much needed larger staff. Meanwhile, City Council member Lori Boyer leads on river activation and simplified zoning. And Mayor Curry fulfilled his promise to resolve the Landing. PREVIOUS: 7 All those new apartment buildings, open or under construction or credibly planned, will close in on the critical mass of 10,000 people we need living Downtown. We want more of them to be unsubsidized. PREVIOUS: 6 Local investors are being joined by long-distance money as they perceive that Downtown Jacksonville is finally on a fast rise. Public subsidies are making investment decisions easy. PREVIOUS: 6 5 5 5 4 MIN MAX MIN MAX MIN MAX MIN MAX DEVELOPMENT EVENTS & CULTURE TRANSPORTATION CONVENTION CENTER Retail? Keep an eye on Brooklyn Station. On one side, the 10-story Vista Brooklyn will include 14,000 square feet of retail. On the other, more retailing will replace the “jughandle” at Leila. PREVIOUS: 4 We lost the USS Adams to Navy nervousness, and the Landing restaurants soon will be gone. Top acts still fill Downtown venues, but we’re looking forward to Lot J and the family entertainment center planned for Berkman II. PREVIOUS: 6 A road diet will make the Southbank more walkable and bikeable, while the North Florida Smart Region Coalition is pushing forward on what it calls the BayJax Innovation Corridor to revolutionize Northbank traffic. PREVIOUS: 4 The old City Hall and courthouse are down and being cleared, but the city has put the whole idea of a convention center on hold, whether there or at the Shipyards. PREVIOUS: 4 OVERALL RATING It’s really 6.5, but we’re rounding up in honor of the soon-to-be complete Barnett Bank, the ubiquitous construction cranes and those new apartment complexes everywhere. Demolition of the Landing will be a great symbol. PREVIOUS: 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 JEFF DAVIS 14 J MAGAZINE | SPRING <strong>2019</strong>
