VOLUME 34, ISSUE 8 BEHIND THE COVER Homelessness is a failure of society. The wealthiest nation on Earth, and one of the most powerful in the history of civilization, should be able to do better. For this cover, our goal was to not only illustrate the fragility of housing (16% of Jacksonville’s population lives in poverty--much closer to being on the streets than to being billionaires) but to also bring it back to the ideals of the season we are in: peace, joy and prosperity. As you celebrate this year, how will you share those values?

THE 904, Duval, The First Coast, River City, the Bold New City of the South. Jacksonville has a host of nicknames, but together they represent the culture of this unique city, a city I didn’t fully appreciate at first. So much so, I was considering moving out six years after moving in. It’s difficult to forget my first encounters with Jacksonville. I remember the three-hour, family road trips from Tampa, heading up U.S. 301 to I-10, to visit my aunt and cousins. Back then, Adventure Landing in Jacksonville Beach was a holiday for me and my sister, and St. Johns Town Center was little more than a Dick’s Sporting Goods with sweltering concrete sidewalks. For many years to follow, that was pretty much my impression of Jacksonville … nothing special. It wasn’t until 2014—my freshman year at the University of North Florida—that I actually began to appreciate the city for what it was instead of what it wasn’t. Despite its size, Jacksonville is pretty accessible. As a kid, I didn’t realize how convenient it was to be able to reach virtually any part of town in 30 minutes or less and how fun it was to explore the diversity of its neighborhoods. How can I forget the mornings my college pals and I would abode in Riverside, its sprawling shores sprinkled with driftwood spend aimlessly wandering commercial beacons along Southside? and fallen oak trees are unmatched in their beauty and seclusion Or the nights spent at Memorial Park in Riverside with our legs and well worth the drive. Where the cypress woods meet the surf, dangling from the balustrade above the St. Johns River? The Big Talbot Island is a tranquil rarity that offers an escape away from more time I spent in Riverside, the more I grew to love it. The the city—a place to walk, run, write, hike and look off the shore’s historic homes, the eclectic residents and support for small, local rocks at what feels like the edge of the world.

  • Full Arts and Economic Prosperity III Study
    Arts & Economic The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts .rMI Culture Organizations and Their Audience From the iconic images of the Florida Highwaymen to the museums that preserve and collect our history, arts and culture define us. They improve quality of life for Floridians and visitors to our state. The arts and culture inspire creativity and lifelong learning, build strong communities, and build a strong network for leadership that encourages a stronger Florida. The findings of The Arts and Economic Prosperity III reveal that, in addition to these innumerable benefits, arts and culture bring economic vitality to our state. This study reveals that the cultural industry is important to economic prosperity. In Florida, arts and culture mean business. With more than $3 billion in total direct expenditures into the Florida economy in 2008, arts and culture are sound investments in Florida’s future. In the pages to follow, you will read about the many ways that arts and culture are good news for those looking to strengthen Florida’s economy. Leaders in Florida are supportive of arts and culture because they have helped to bring new businesses and ventures to our state. In today’s competitive global marketplace, arts and culture can play an important role in attracting high-wage jobs and a creative workforce. The Arts and Economic Prosperity III expands that notion. Not only can the cultural industry play its important part in attracting business critical to economic recovery, this industry contributes directly to economic activity, supports jobs, and returns revenue to local and state government. The return on investment number speaks for itself.

  • 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.
