Mayor Signs Economic Development Legislation

City of Jacksonville - News RSS
Plan streamlines process to make Jacksonville more competitive

Mayor Alvin Brown's plan to streamline city job-creating functions by transforming the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission into an executive-run Office of Economic Development is now official.

Mayor Brown signed his economic development legislation (2012-212) today at 9:30 a.m. while commending City Council for the unanimous vote on June 26, 2012, backing the mayor's vision for Jacksonville's future.

"This is more than policy and it's more than structure," said the mayor. "It's the unanimous opinion of our elected City Council to do what's right for the taxpayers. It's the conversation-starter with business leaders wondering where to expand or relocate. And it's a solution for the nearly 38,000 people in our city who remain out of work and deserve a chance to rebuild themselves."
