When buyers of the George Doro Fixture Co. property in the Stadium District bought the site almost a year ago, they talked about their vision for the property. They saw food-related uses, offices and residences at the former manufacturing site that would tie in with the neighboring former Noland Building they own that is occupied by Intuition Ale Works and Manifest Distilling. Talk could be turning into action. Iconic Real Estate Investments LLC wants to redevelop the Doro site and encompass the former Noland Building into a project called the Doro District. “We want to redesign and reimagine Grainger that area that’s been dormant,” said Iconic Investments president Farley Grainger. The Downtown Development Review Board is slated to look at a conceptual plan next week to redevelop the Doro site. The Doro property is at 102 A. Philip Randolph Blvd. near EverBank Field and the new Daily’s Place amphitheater and flex field. The ownership group is led by Grainger and his son, Paul, who bought the 1.63-acre Doro property in March for $2.5 million. It bought the former Noland property a year earlier for $2.2 million. Plans show the Doro property as a bowling alley, bar, offices, retail and, later, residential. It would complement the uses at 929 E.

With a sentencing hearing scheduled for today, an attorney for former state Rep. Reggie Fullwood, D-Jacksonville, has filed a six-page document seeking to keep him from going to prison. Fullwood pleaded guilty in September to one count of wire fraud and one count of failure to file a tax return in a case related to the illegal use of campaign contributions for personal expenses. The plea led to Fullwood resigning his Duval County House seat, which he had held since 2010. In a sentencing memorandum filed in federal court, Fullwood’s attorney, Robert Willis, wrote that sentencing guidelines would ordinarily lead to 15 to 21 months in prison. But Willis asked in the document that Senior Judge Henry Lee Adams Jr. exercise “discretion and impose a non-custodial sentence.” In part, Willis wrote that Fullwood is a Fullwood “committed, attentive and supportive father” to two children and pointed to Fullwood’s time in public office, including getting elected to the City Council at age 23. It also described community involvement including his former position as executive director of Metro North Community Development Corp., a nonprofit affordable housing organization. The document also noted Fullwood is going through a divorce and “the defendant’s current circumstance before this court certainly played a part of the pending dissolution” of the marriage. “With the exception of the (sentencing) guideline yield based upon the current calculation, there is literally nothing that suggests Mr. Fullwood should be incarcerated,” Willis wrote. “If allowed, he will have a bright future notwithstanding the undeniable fact of these convictions.”
