Moving Jacksonville Forward: Why Advocacy Matters. Did you know that when people come to visit the Jacksonville they love it so much they are most likely to return and make it their home? I was one of those folks! And I created a business upstart to tell people who great it was and what I loved about Jax. This is how Explore Jax Core was BIRTHED!!
Last nights panel discussion was on a long standing topic: How to move Jackdonville forward.
The panelist were a group of fresh voice offering their take on the City of Jacksonville as a whole. This was a great step in the right direction and it’s obvious that each panelist has a great adoration for our city and they offered legitimate solutions to moving JAX forward. Jacksonville is turning the corner on its future; comments ranged from education at the VPre-K level and its relation to incarceration planning for third graders, Destination Tourism, business startups (like Explore Jax Core), entrepreneurship, the healthiness of neighborhoods, urban planning and local governmental decisions on downtown growth and urban planning and zoning. So much more….I wish it was longer!
