  • Celebrating the River: a Plan for Downtown Jacksonville
    CELEBRATING THE RIVER: A PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE In early 1977, citizens and city leaders took up the challenge of restoring downtown Jacksonville to a vibrant district with many options for living, working and playing. Public input has played an important role in meeting that challenge, and substantial citizen involvement in committees, public meetings and community forums culminated in the development of this master plan for revitalizing Jacksonville’s downtown. Celebrating the River: A Plan for Downtown Jacksonville is a road map that provides the basis for all future downtown development. It directs and recommends where development should take place and what type of development it will be. It includes projects that can be implemented quickly and others that will take much longer to complete. It focuses on the natural asset of the scenic St. Johns River which fl ows through the heart of the city and anchors both banks of the river to the downtown core. It also capitalizes on our climate, creating green space, pedestrian right-of-ways and scenic vistas. It is our vision and blueprint for future development opportunities, and something of which we can all be proud. Downtown Jacksonville is the heart of the city. It can and should refl ect the beauty, diversity and vitality of our entire region, and this master plan provides the guidance needed to make that vision a reality. Mayor John Peyton City of Jacksonville CELEBRATING THE RIVER: A PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE VISION STATEMENT acksonville aspires to be one of the Jworlds great cities. Downtown is the heart of Jacksonville and its vitality is critical to the citys future as a world-renowned livable place.
