Hopes that the state of Florida would provide $500,000 for the renovation of the Jacksonville Casket Factory into a music history museum are dead for this year. Gov.  Ron DeSantis slashed the appropriation in the budget veto list. Cash from Tallahassee was expected to help turn a dormant Jacksonville casket factory into something more full of life. Now other options will need to be pursued. House and Senate budget committees agreed to allot $500,000 for the renovation of a onetime coffin plant, to be repurposed as the Jacksonville Music History Museum .
