Jacksonville’s newest Hobby Lobby is progressing at Oakleaf Town Center as additional permits were granted for the retail store in October by the city's Building Inspections Division.

The space previously housed OfficeMax, Lifeway and AC Moore and will be next to the Target off Argyle Forest Boulevard and Old Middleburg Road. The project will include renovations to the building in both interior and exterior areas of the single-story structure.

The makeover is projected to cost $18.9 million. Snyder General Construction Inc. is the contractor.
