We look forward to working with the City Council on this important project.”
According to the Jacksonville Daily Record, Dun & Bradstreet will receive $4 million in state incentives through its High-Impact Performance Initiative, and legislation will be introduced to City Council in the next two weeks for an additional $21 million in incentives.
