A divided Jacksonville City Council approved a plan to split up the proposed “Stadium of the Future” deal between the city and Jacksonville Jaguars by carving out $94 million in its community benefits agreement for consideration beginning in July.
On a show of hands, Council approved 11-2 an amendment to the stadium legislation, Ordinance 2024-0904, that uncouples the city funding for the community benefits from the package of nine separate agreements that make up the overall stadium deal.
Council members Rahman Johnson and Jimmy Peluso voted no. Council members Kevin Carrico, Terrance Freeman, Reggie Gaffney Jr. and Ju’Coby Pittman abstained because of conflicts of interest. Members Boylan and Diamond were absent.
