JAA to Sue City Over Airport Profits | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville’s airport authority is poised to sue the city over a three-year standoff over airport profits — claiming federal law forbids using funds for non-airport projects like kids’ programs or power line upgrades. A 2023 city council push to redirect “excess” millions sparked legal warnings from the FAA, which confirmed the city’s demands likely violate federal rules. Meanwhile, city leaders argue a new state law demands JAA invest more at Cecil Airport and create jobs, accusing the authority of ignoring public will and acting illegally by seeking outside legal counsel. The JAA board will vote Thursday at 2 PM, with public input allowed before their decision. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
