JEA’s former headquarters in Downtown is closer to being renovated into a mixed-use residential property after the city-owned utility’s board voted Tuesday to sell it to a Jacksonville-based developer.
With a 6-0 vote, the seven-member board approved the sale of the three-building property for $1 million to Live Oak Contracting. With board approval, JEA will seek City Council approval to sell the property.
