The Jacksonville DIA has got to get creative and take more action! First, BLOW UP the old convention center and create a space worthwhile for corporations to see Jacksonville as a viable city for meeting space. As someone in the corporate world, working for major organizations across the country, not ONE time in 30 years, have we ever considered Jacksonville for a major corporate meeting or convention. If you build it, they will come. "They", being major hotels, restaurants, local businesses, etc., that will be able to support an influx of corporate meetings and people. We have an Awesome airport, that is actually more affordable to fly than some major hubs, due to several competitive airlines. It's one of the only ways to create major revenue to attract employers able to create jobs in the downtown area. This can compete with the Town Center concepts and draw people/families out periodically from local neighborhood spots. With Khan's Four Seasons development, which will provide premier meeting space, lodging and retail, it will create a corridor along the interior of the river for further development. With those first two steps complete, bye-bye jail!!! - Buy the old Regency Mall and build a state-of-the-art jail to free up premier real estate downtown, then develop the center of the corridor. A little #vision is all that is needed. Jax IS a major city, #LETSGO!!! As Dub aka Andy Allen would say #JAXTOTHEMAX
