JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – JEA is reviewing plans for an 85,000-square-foot U.S. Army Reserve training facility planned on the city’s west side, and filings also show an 8,700-square-foot vehicle maintenance shop off Normandy Boulevard near Cecil Airport, the Jacksonville Business Journal reported Wednesday.

The utility review is part of the project’s early permitting process and would assess impacts to water, sewer and electric service, the report said. Details about site ownership, funding, a construction schedule and any required service upgrades were not immediately available.

News4JAX reached out to the U.S. Army and did not immediately receive a response.
