As the Jacksonville City Council begins examining the city’s proposed deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to build the team’s “Stadium of the Future,” Council President Ron Salem says he will prioritize portions of the agreement that deal with building the project and making it operational.
A community benefit agreement in the deal will come second, he said.
“The community part will not even occur if we don’t get the stadium passed,” Salem said during an interview May 15. “So I will not be focusing on the community benefit portion of this until we get the stadium done.”
