John Delaney and John Peyton, Former Jacksonville Mayors:
“We encourage the Jacksonville City Council to support the Deegan Administration’s negotiated stadium proposal. The comprehensive package – including the stadium renovation plan, a long-term lease structure and the Community Benefits Agreement – will create a world-class stadium, advance our downtown, elevate our community and secure the Jaguars in Jacksonville.”

Nat Glover, Former Duval County Sheriff/EWU President
“I urge our city leaders to approve this stadium deal, including the Community Benefits Agreement. In 2000, the architects of the Better Jacksonville Plan (BJP) and the council members who approved it were deeply invested in what was best for Jacksonville. They set aside their individual differences and their personal and political desires to establish a shared interest in what was best for Jacksonville and its citizens. As a result, thousands of our residents and visitors benefit from many of the investments created by the BJP.”

David Miller, Co-Founder, Brightway Insurance
“The $300 million Community Benefits Agreement, split equally between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville, is a landmark investment in our community’s future. This agreement focuses on crucial areas such as workforce development, affordable housing, combatting homelessness, and enhancing parks and recreational facilities. These initiatives are vital to addressing some of the most pressing issues faced by our residents, ensuring that the benefits of this project extend well beyond the stadium itself.”
 
Mayor Elaine Brown, Neptune Beach
“I would like to thank Mayor Deegan and her team for the negotiations between the City of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a fair deal that will protect and benefit taxpayers as we work towards a vibrant downtown, lift neighborhoods throughout the city and increase needed services to reduce homelessness.”
 
Wayne Weaver, Former Owner, Jacksonville Jaguars:
“…The corresponding community benefits package is an outstanding investment in our long-term prosperity. This package is vital, because it will fund critical workforce development initiatives, affordable housing and homelessness reduction efforts, and the completion of our riverfront parks. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make real progress for thousands of Duval County residents.”
 
Jacksonville Civic Council
“The Jacksonville Civic Council congratulates the Mayor and Jaguars for reaching agreement on a landmark deal to renovate the stadium and invest in a pathbreaking set of community-wide programs that ensure the deal benefits all residents. The Civic Council strongly urges the City Council to approve the Stadium deal and Community Benefit Agreement as a single package.”
 
Daniel Davis, JAX Chamber President & CEO
“We have to invest in the Jaguars and the stadium – that’s part of the deal of being an NFL city and we understand that. The Community Benefit Agreement is also a huge part of this deal and we will see significant benefits from these investments. We will be active in speaking with the City Council on the importance of this proposal and urge them to approve the agreement.”
