DeSantis Vetoes Small Projects in Jacksonville Budget | Jacksonville News

Governor Ron DeSantis signed the state budget with a few targeted vetoes in Jacksonville — including a fairgrounds restroom and parts of the Emerald Trail — totaling a few million dollars. But the big wins stayed intact: major projects like UNF upgrades and a Southside road are moving forward. The governor’s selective cuts reveal his influence over funding, even as lawmakers’ priorities largely prevail. Approved initiatives now include the Culinary Institute campus, sports complex safety upgrades, and a critical Baymeadows Road crosswalk. It’s a mixed outcome, but Jacksonville’s key development and safety investments are still on track. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
