Deegan's $586M Infrastructure Push | Jacksonville News

Mayor Deegan’s $586 million capital plan prioritizes infrastructure, with $220 million earmarked for Everbank Stadium upgrades and $27 million as the final payment for the Museum of Science and History’s new downtown home. Over $437 million will be funded through debt, while other big-ticket items include $24 million for UF Health and $25 million for Riverfront Plaza. The plan reflects tough choices, trimming unfunded projects to reduce city debt, even as City Council members—especially Republicans—push to limit non-public safety spending and keep general fund costs under $832 million. With dozens of projects from sidewalk repairs to bridge fixes, this budget lays the groundwork for the city’s future, sparking debate over where to best allocate resources.
