Jacksonville City Council will meet again this week to consider the $1.4 billion agreement to renovate EverBank Stadium.
Council president Ron Salem has scheduled a workshop from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday. The second session will be canceled if all agenda items are considered earlier.

The agenda includes a presentation on the community benefits portion of the deal. The agreement provides for the city and the Jaguars to each put up $150 million toward workforce development, park upgrades, affordable housing and more across Duval County.
A poll last month from the University of North Florida found that 56% of respondents supported the stadium package if it includes money for community investment. Without the community benefits, support dropped to 41%.
This is the second workshop the council has held on the agreement. The first was last week.

This week’s workshop will be in the council chambers at City Hall, 117 W. Duval St.
