Jaxport Announces Plans

To Purchase Land For

Port's Third Ship Terminal

The Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) recently voted to purchase three large tracts of land on Dames

Point totalling more than 468 acres, upon which it will build Jacksonville's third public ship terminal. The cost of the land was about $14.4 million.

Jaxport already owns 30 acres in the area and will offer to purchase 80 additional acres from individual

Dames Point residents following the completion of appraisals.

When the final 80 acres are ac- quired, Jaxport has indicated that it will own approximately 579 acres immediately adjacent to its Blount

Island Marine Terminal.

The property, which is on deep water and slated for port develop- ment under the city's comprehensive master plan, is easily accessible by rail and highway.

The new facility will complement

Jaxport's existing 1,040-acre port ter- minal complex, consisting of Blount

Island and Talleyrand Docks & Ter- minals.
