A good chunk of the $117 billion budget passed by Florida lawmakers Friday is being set aside for projects in Northeast Florida.

State money that would have gone to help the USS Orleck naval museum prepare for its permanent home has sunk.

The USS Orleck -- the centerpiece of the Jacksonville Naval Museum -- opened to the public Wednesday after a weeklong delay caused by Hurricane Ian.

The USS Orleck is starting to become a downtown destination, but it might have worn out its welcome at its current spot.

The USS Orleck arrived in Jacksonville on Saturday to become the centerpiece of Jacksonville’s naval museum, expected to open in June.
