UF campus land swap is the best deal on the table

The major deal to bring a University of Florida graduate campus to Downtown Jacksonville hinges on the City acquiring LaVilla’s Interline building so classes can begin in August. City Council is debating whether to trade the property for something we have too much of – vacant land – or tap the city’s reserves to buy it outright. Of the two options, a land swap is the better deal on the table, by far.
