JPMorgan Chase has filed applications with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to open three bank branches in the Jacksonville area, confirming plans that have surfaced in other regulatory filings.

No contractor was specified for that 14,733-square-foot project, described as demolition of existing offices, reconfiguration of open office area, and addition of conference rooms.
The plans show offices, open areas, "huddle" rooms, a break room and a "war room."
