A wholesale distributor is seeking public incentives to expand in Jacksonville with a $90 million food distribution warehouse, according to newly released city documents.

The city Office of Economic Development is requesting approval for $2.2 million in incentives for the code-named Project Moana, which according to an OED staff summary plans a capital investment of $80 million in new construction and $10 million in equipment for the 275,000-square-foot expansion warehouse.

The request is scheduled to go before the Mayor’s Budget Review Committee on June 9. If approved, it will be introduced to the Jacksonville City Council.

In the summary, Project Moana is described as a “well-known international wholesale distributor” that employs 10,000 people worldwide, including 200 in Florida.
