City of Jacksonville inches forward on planned San Marco Publix
JACKSONVILLE, Fla โ A project nearly two decades in the making will take a little longer to complete. The project to build a Publix in San Marco was originally designed as a 57,000 square foot structure. The latest plan shows the Publix grocery on the second floor and a parking garage on the first. San Marco residents have been eager to welcome Publix in the area, with some reaching out to urge the developers to build while others behind a โLetโs Get It Rightโ campaign urging responsible, smart growth. More changes could be on the way after Tuesdayโs land-use hearing, which is expected to discuss the plan for the San Marco development at 1 p.m.
