UF is asking the state to put up $50 million for a graduate-level campus in Jacksonville specializing in health care and financial services.
"We're not trying to jump-start this industry in Northeast Florida," Duggan said."It's already here. We're already very successful at recruiting businesses to come here with high-wage jobs."for the possible education center in the first of three years of city funding that would eventually total $50 million.
Duggan said UF is a top-tier university nationally so having UF graduate programs in Jacksonville would be an"enormous boost." The state funding for the UF Health trauma center started with a $6 million request and increased substantially as lawmakers developed the 2022-23 budget.
