Major news for Jacksonville`s Flagler Center!
Citigroup ‘modernizing’ in $19 million Flagler Center upgrade
Citigroup is investing an estimated $19 million to renovate its office space. The project will transform 250,000 square feet, creating a modern, open workspace with a focus on sustainability and employee wellness.
This comes after Citi`s decision to sell its campus in a sale-leaseback deal, allowing it to continue its operations with its 4,000 employees while adapting to hybrid work schedules. The company has been a key part of Jacksonville`s business community for nearly 30 years and plans for continued growth.

Geotechnical Engineers Work on Everything from Skyscrapers to Spaceports!
The field isn’t just about buildings and roads. Geotechnical engineers are involved in:
Designing foundations for offshore wind farms
Preparing launch pads for space missions
Building tunnels, dams, mines, and even underground cities
🚀 Bonus Fact: NASA studies the mechanics of lunar and Martian soils — a form of “exo-geotechnical engineering” — for future space habitats.
Florida`s new $15.1 billion transportation budget for fiscal year 2025-26, supported by FDOT, allocates $13.7 billion for infrastructure projects. These include significant investments in highway construction ($5.4B), resurfacing ($1.5B), bridge work ($961.2M), and other areas like rail, aviation, seaports, and trails. The budget also funds safety initiatives and local grants.
Additionally, Senate Bill 1662 introduces policy changes to prepare Florida for future transportation needs. Key provisions include:
1. Establishing the Florida Transportation Research Institute (led by UCF)
2. Creating a Transportation Academy for workforce training
3. Developing new funding for spaceport infrastructure and protecting space- designated land at seaports
4. Creating a state plan for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
5. Authorizing the construction of vertiports for AAM testing

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Ladies in Land Jacksonville Chapter Lunch & Learn!
We rocked the house and got our hands dirty (figuratively, of course!) with an incredible presentation we shared regarding geotechnical testing.
A special shout-out to our staff here at MAE for sharing the fascinating side of the industry. It`s inspiring to see so many women and allies in land, development, and homebuilding come together to connect, share expertise, and truly "change spaces."
This event would not have been possible without the generous support of the Platinum sponsor: Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors, Inc.
Support allows us to continue providing these valuable educational and networking opportunities.
We`re already looking forward to the next event!
If you attended: What was a fun fact you learned about soil composition or testing? Let us know in the comments!

TODAY`S QUESTION: What engineering theory strives to get “the right people” together at “the right time” to collaborate on ways to solve design problems by having all the “moving parts” (so to speak) work on design at the same time?
Huge congrats to Keith Bell and his family on the arrival of their brand-new grand baby! So much joy heading your way. ❤️ Maybe a future MAE engineer!
Huge Happy Birthday wishes to an amazing leader and genuinely wonderful person! 🥳 So grateful for your guidance and all the positive energy you bring. Have the best day ever!
