The money would extend a road and other projects for what the city is calling the “Cecil Mega Site Rail Spur” — significant projects to improve rail lines in the area of the Cecil Commerce Center.

Some of the $8 million will also go to JEA for water and sewer line improvements.

This is all pending budget approval.
