The Jacksonville Port Authority will contribute $589,667 to help repair soil erosion at Southeast Toyota’s new auto processing facility at JaxPort’s Blount Island Marine Terminal.
JaxPort’s board voted 6-0 on Sept. 29, without discussion, to cover 50% of the costs to fix voids under the pavement at Southeast Toyota’s 340,000-square-foot facility. The voids were caused by soil erosion that created gaps between the pavement and the ground below.
According to meeting materials, “several significant voids in the soil were found within the limits of the construction” while work was underway.
