Jacksonville and Surrounding Area Guide to Venues and Activities
Jacksonville and Surrounding Area Guide to Venues and Activities Southern Sociological Society 2020 Annual Meeting Hyatt Regency Riverfront --- Jacksonville, FL April 1 - 4, 2020 Jacksonville, Florida has moved along the same path sociologists are familiar with: flight from a once vibrant downtown and now a revitalization of downtown. And the revitalization is going strong. The SSS conference is in downtown Jacksonville, right on the St. Johns River and close to many great venues and activities. This guide offers a sampling of what you can do if you stay downtown, walk or rideshare to bordering neighborhoods, or drive to the surrounding towns. Downtown and the Urban Core Downtown is part of what locals call the Urban Core-- downtown plus the surrounding neighborhoods of Historic Springfield, San Marco, Riverside/Avondale, and Brooklyn. There is so much to do in the Urban Core that you really don’t even need a car. This diverse area has walkable access to many eateries, cultural outlets and activities. Informational Sites -- https://downtownjacksonville.org -- https://www.thejaxsonmag.com -- http://www.visitjacksonville.com -- http://www.sparcouncil.org -- https://onjacksonville.com -- https://thecoastal.com Local Transportation In addition to taxi cabs and Uber and Lyft providing ride sharing service, the City has several mass transit services. Super Shuttle -- Airport transportation Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) -- Operates the extensive city bus system (MyJTA mobile phone app provides routes and ticketing) JTA Paratransit -- Provides destination-to-destination rides for people with disabilities Parking -- For those who plan to park around downtown Jacksonville, park garages and street parking are available. It’s worth noting that some street parking spots only take quarters, so be prepared. -
2019-2020 State of Downtown Report
2019-2020 STATE OF DOWNTOWN REPORT FLORIDA 1 LETTER FROM MAYOR LENNY CURRY Jacksonville is a city on the rise, a fact that is clearly demonstrated in our ever- growing Downtown. Economic momentum throughout Jacksonville, specifically in our Downtown corridor, remains a top priority for my administration. Public and private investment in our city center is at its highest levels in decades. VyStar Credit Union relocated its headquarters and 1,200 employees to Downtown Jacksonville, while JEA and FIS are developing a combined 462,000 square foot footprint of office space for their new headquarters. Mixed use projects like The Barnett, Laura St. Trio, The Ambassador Hotel, and Independent Life Insurance Building are breathing new life into Downtown’s historic buildings. Development projects underway total nearly $3 billion and our riverfront is poised for generational change with multiple catalytic projects, including the Ford on Bay and Lot J. Last year, Downtown saw more than 20 million visitors drawn to Downtown’s 15 culture and entertainment venues, five sports teams, four major medical facilities, three college campuses, numerous restaurants and shops, and various events and conventions. Cultural gems like The Florida Theatre and the Museum of Science & History are embarking on multimillion-dollar renovations to further enhance the Downtown experience. More and more people are choosing to live Downtown for the atmosphere, entertainment options and walkability. Since last year’s report, the number of Downtown residents is up 18%, and the number of units is up 20% with four new multifamily properties opened, and 652 more units under construction. We are expected to see even more growth in the coming years thanks to the Downtown Investment Authority’s Food and Beverage Retail Enhancement and Storefront Façade Grant programs which aim to create an even more lively and vibrant Downtown. -
City of Jacksonville, Florida Annual Financial Plan for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2007 Public Safety
CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA ANNUAL FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 PUBLIC SAFETY Last year, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to more than 9,000 calls a month. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately 4,000 calls a day. Clearly, public safety is big business – and just as clearly, that “business” is the core responsibility of government. Duval County residents count on emergency responders to answer their calls and to protect lives and property. And it is vitally important that our public safety agencies have the personnel, training and equipment to meet the challenges they face every day. This year’s budget supports these resources. In fact, one-fourth of the city’s overall budget has been allocated to the Sheriff’s Office and Fire and Rescue Department in FY 2006-07. But responding to violence and the unexpected is just part of the public safety picture. Jacksonville’s budget also funds important homeland security and emergency preparedness initiatives. Jacksonville recently distinguished itself by becoming the first local government in the nation to receive Emergency Management Accreditation. As our city grows, so will government’s challenge of ensuring public safety. That’s why it’s important to envision the long term and invest in programs that will help to prevent crime in the future. Mayor John Peyton believes that jobs, education and neighborhoods with a sense of community are the real answers to preventing crime and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Jacksonville. He has invested in those priorities through the Seeds of Change: Growing Great Neighborhoods initiative. -

City of Jacksonville, Florida ANNUAL BUDGET
City of Jacksonville, Florida ANNUAL BUDGET for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2008 CITY EMPLOYEES The City of Jacksonville is one of the largest organizations in Duval County, with approximately 8,000 employees. And although you probably don’t think about it much, those public servants work for you: their collective job is ensuring your safety and pre- serving your quality of life. Even if you’ve never entered City Hall, never called a local government office for assistance or somehow never connected with the city’s workforce, you have experienced and benefited from their efforts. These hardworking individuals provide police and fire/rescue protection, staff parks and libraries, build and maintain roads and infrastruc- ture, collect trash and yard waste, and so much more. They provide special services for our seniors, help to ensure access for disabled residents and assist Jacksonville’s large vet- eran population with everything from housing to accessing benefits. Without city employees, Jacksonville quite simply wouldn’t be the great community it is. And your tax dollars enable these public servants to do the important work that keeps our city functioning. This year, due to significant property tax changes approved by the state legislature, the City of Jacksonville’s budget is one of the leanest in the history of consolidated gov- ernment. That follows several years of budget cuts in the non-public safety portions of the government. The consequences? City employees have had to make do with less, increase their efficiency even more and look for new ways to stretch every dollar. One thing that hasn’t changed is the city’s emphasis on public service. -
