Construction

Our future

BUILDING THE DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE DESERVES

Jacksonville’s downtown has the potential to become a destination worth talking about – worth exploring for both visitors and residents alike.

The redevelopment of the Jacksonville Shipyards and construction of the Miller Electric Center, with an eye toward the Stadium of the Future, will transform our downtown into a thriving riverfront.

A revitalized downtown will bring new jobs into the area, attract tourism revenue and drive momentum on additional development throughout the urban core.

EMPOWERING LOCAL RESIDENTS THROUGH Construction Ready

Trained, Credentialed and Ready to Work

Construction Ready is a four-week, free to students instructor-led workforce readiness training designed for Northeast Florida residents.

Graduates receive eight industry-recognized credentials and receive access to hiring fairs with contractors throughout the region. The Jaguars helped to fund the first six classes. 

Upon graduating, 97% of all Construction Ready graduates find full-time job placement, which could be on our 1st DownTown Jacksonville projects. Of our 87 total graduates in Jacksonville, several have worked at Miller Electric Center when it was under construction.

A REIMAGINED SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT

MILLER ELECTRIC CENTER: POWERING PERFORMANCE

In 18 months, we constructed Miller Electric Center to relocate Jaguars’ football operations from inside our existing stadium and into a dedicated, new facility. The new, state-of-the-art, 125,000-square-foot sports performance center — Miller Electric Center — is maintained by the Jaguars and owned by the city. It includes locker rooms, training and recovery areas, medical support facilities, a weight room, player dining, office space and a draft room. It also features 2,090-seat shaded grandstand seats in the fan amenity area, complete with concessions, restrooms, public art and a Fanatics PRO SHOP.

Miller Electric Center opened for training camp, in advance of the Jaguars’ 2023 season.
