Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) officials yesterday unveiled the Florida port's strategic plan for the next five years.
The previous plan, for years 2014 through 2019, focused on infrastructure. Now that projects outlined in the previous plan are complete or near completion, the new plan focuses on building the port's cargo business and creating new private sector jobs, Jaxport officials said in a press release.
The new plan includes the following strategies: expand the port's container business, vehicle capacity and volume, and breakbulk business line; and acquire additional land near the port.
Other goals include completing the port's harbor deepening; creating revenue from all owned property; investing in technology that improves port efficiency; and prioritizing investment in infrastructure, equipment and facilities.
CSX, Norfolk Southern Railway and Florida East Coast Railway serve the port.
