Cecil Commerce Center Request for Proposals (RFPs)
The Jacksonville Economic Development Commission (JEDC) issued a formal request for proposals (RFP) for a master developer of 4,499 +/- acres of City-owned property at Cecil Commerce Center. The site is ideal for manufacturing, industrial-related and supply chain logistics end users. Envisioned by the community to be a premier industrial employment center for Northeast Florida, the development timing of Cecil Commerce Center needs to capitalize on upcoming JAXPORT expansion plans and its subsequent economic impacts for the community. Clearly, Cecil Commerce Center is positioned to be a world-class distribution and logistics center with market dominance and a critical mass of factors converging in its favor. Therefore, time is of the essence to find a private sector partner that can help the community realize its vision for Cecil Commerce Center. Extensive site due diligence, permitting and core infrastructure investment has been performed by several public sector agencies. These efforts and resulting entitlements have better positioned the property for development opportunities and should serve to expedite transfer to a private sector development partner.
