Member M. Patrick has mentioned that the reworked railroad station, Prime Osborne (PO) could be converted to the library we were promised in the other "Better Jacksonville Plan" years ago.
I have been to events at PO where there was live music. With the high ceilings and hard walls, the sound bounced from wall to wall and became so distorted the event became a total flop.
In a library setting where "quiet" is the rule of the day, this sound distortion will not be a problem.
The lawyers don?’t want the courthouse in the PO, it does not fit as a convention center, so why not save many dollars by doing the above and use the money saved to build a world class convention center.
