Sign up for the Jacksonville Today newsletter. Jacksonville city officials are seeking feedback about a proposal to create a special business district on the Westside. They want business owners to log onto an online petition and fill in suggestions by mid-June. Jacksonville Today thanks our sponsors. Become one. The district would be called the Wonderland Corridor, stretching along 103rd Street from Blanding Boulevard to the Cecil Commerce Center. City Council member Rahman Johnson believes this is the first fully digital corridor petition process in city history. He believes it will create a new model for how local government engages stakeholders, gathers data and explores future economic development opportunities — needs that he heard from business owners during town meetings there. “Some of the business owners said, ‘We need more,'” Johnson told Jacksonville Today . “That was the impetus for doing the research to see what we could do not to crowd the Westside; we certainly don’t want to be the Town Center. But we want to make sure that we did everything possible to give businesses the opportunity to flourish. And because you are dealing with lighting and infrastructure and signage down that corridor, the communities benefit from that.” Article continues below More from Jax Today Meet the three candidates vying for Duval County School Board District 2 seat
