Out with the old and in with the new.
That’s the basis of a project that’s underway for the next three to four weeks at City Hall while Mayor Lenny Curry’s 4th-floor office is redecorated and upgraded.
Designed by Gresham, Smith and Partners, the $80,000-$100,000 project is being paid for with private donations via the Jacksonville Historical Society, said Curry’s Chief of Staff Kerri Stewart.
While some of the furniture has been replaced over the years, it’s the first time the space has been renovated from floor-to-ceiling since former Mayor John Delaney moved into the office in December 1997.
After almost 20 years, it was time to “freshen up” the carpet, walls and technology, Stewart said.
