The city will host their own set of “community huddles” to give Jacksonville residents the opportunity to comment on the proposed deal for renovating Everbank Stadium, the mayor's office announced Thursday.
The Jaguars hosted their own meetings after releasing its plans for the renovations last summer. After months of negotiations, the mayor’s team will present the framework of the deal to City Council Tuesday.
City Council will then have to approve the lease agreement.

The cost-share of the proposed $1.4 billion stadium has not yet been released, but residents shared concern over the potential taxpayer cost during Mayor Donna Deegan’s community conversations tour throughout the city last year.
