DeSantis Cuts Northeast Florida Projects | Jacksonville News

Governor Ron DeSantis slashed nearly $810 million from Florida’s $117 billion budget, including $18 million targeted at Northeast Florida projects — hitting Jacksonville fairgrounds restrooms, Edward Waters University’s multiplex, and key infrastructure like the 11th/12th Street connector and Hogan Street Emerald Trail. Though he framed the cuts as necessary to align with legislative priorities, the move stirs concern among local leaders. Yet, hope remains: tens of millions still flow to First Coast, including $2 million for the Culinary Institute of America in Downtown Jacksonville and $1.25 million for the Jacksonville Museum of Science & History’s new downtown hub.
