It was an incredible honor to accept the Jake Godbold Award from the Jacksonville Environmental Protection Board last week. Mayor Godbold believed that we have a responsibility not just to manage the present, but to protect the future. (1/2)

The annual Farm City luncheon is a wonderful way to celebrate our agriculture industry and collaboration between rural and urban communities. It takes all of us working together to ensure every family can put food on the table. That collaboration is what makes our city special.

Happy Monday Duval! Who turned the air down? It’s another gorgeous sunrise today, but you will definitely need a sweater or jacket on your way out. Keep it handy as it’s going to get colder for our Veterans Day Parade tomorrow morning. We hope you can join us!

In Jacksonville, we take care of all our people, a promise that's being tested by delays and cuts to SNAP. Today we launched the Duval Care Coalition for our neighbors who need hunger relief. It's made of faith leaders, nonprofits, & community partners on the front lines of this essential work (1/3)

This day has been a long time in the making. After years of planning, we were so excited to break ground on the Sulzbacher Enterprise Village. Phase 1 will provide permanent housing and end homelessness for 100 people, with comprehensive health and career services to come in the future. (1/2)
