JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Northbank of Jacksonville's downtown could be getting a new look if plans to tear down the abandoned county courthouse and city hall and build a convention center pan out.
Bids from three companies to build a convention center with exhibition space and hotel on the city-owned riverfront land were opened Wednesday.
