The Jacksonville City Council approved legislation to allow the Sheriff’s Office to lease 58,959 square feet of space in the 20-story Florida Blue office tower to house its Homeland Security Division.
According to the legislation, Florida Blue will charge the Sheriff’s Office $20 per square foot annually for office space in Downtown’s Brooklyn neighborhood and another $6 per square foot for 3,567 square feet of garage space. The price is considered below market rates.
