DUVAL COUNTY, Fla. – The fate of the old Duval County Armory downtown remains in limbo. A bill that would have leased the building to the Sons of Confederate Veterans was dismissed during Tuesday night's city council meeting.
Councilwoman Kimberly Daniels is the sponsor of the bill. Her proposal would have given the Sons of Confederate Veterans a 10-year lease on the building for just $1 a year. In exchange, the group would be responsible for repairs and maintenance to the building.
