The City of Jacksonville is the economic driver for the seven-county, Northeast Florida area of approximately 1.4 million residents. This is similar to the population of Nashville, Charlotte or Memphis. The Jacksonville region is a gateway to Florida, one of the fastest-growing states in the country, soon to be the third largest in the nation. The area is home to national treasures like historic St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach and recreational locales such as the St. Johns River, World Golf Village and Marineland. From oceanfront living, a downtown urban loft or a rural homestead, there is a place in Northeast Florida for every newcomer. Throughout the region, new residents are impressed by the area's smooth flowing roads and welcoming communities, qualities not easily found in Florida's metropolitan areas. Many companies and residents appreciate that Jacksonville and its surrounding Northeast Florida neighbors work together to solve regional issues such as growth, transportation and water management.
