The theater says its hopes the new location will make the business look more attractive to Jacksonville developers in hopes of adding a location at the Beaches or Mandarin.
SunRay also showed interest last summer in taking over the IMAX theater at World Golf Village.
Certain sections of World Golf Village became vacant as the World Golf Hall of Fame moved back to its original home in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The county is seeking ideas for the Hall of Fame property, the IMAX theater, the nearby PGA Tour Productions building and the space along South Legacy Trail.
