The mayor and city council call it a game changer for Jacksonville--a new University of Florida grad school near downtown that will focus on medical, financial and even artificial intelligence education.
Tuesday night that will eventually cost Jacksonville taxpayers $50 million, with another $50 million coming from the state and private investors.
When asked about the council’s approval of $50 million taxpayer dollars for the project, one woman said, “We really are surprised by stuff like that. I would like to see that money go to helping others, but you know, hopefully there’s some good that comes from the campus.” “It doesn’t surprised me, because we are a city of a million people. People are trying to raise their families,” Mayor Curry said. “You know, they’re not in the minutiae of what we are doing every day. But now that they’ve heard about it, once they see and understand--I mean, this is a bold vision for generations to come in the city of Jacksonville, to bring a top five university here.”
The state and private investors will also need to approve millions of dollars for the project. By the time it happens, Mayor Curry will be out of office.
