Hundreds of First Coast residents came out to a town hall meeting last night to discuss deepening the St. Johns River. The crowd that gathered at the University of North Florida was split on the issue.
There were no presentations at the town hall, just a big table at the front of the room where eight panelists responded to the crowd's questions and comments about the proposed deepening of Jacksonville's port.
"Are there any estimate studies on how much of the commercial shipping we will capture if and when the river is dredged?" George Catalano asked.
