Dear Friends:

We've got a big year ahead of us with the Jacksonville Journey anti-crime initiatives, new jobs coming every day to the port and a strong focus on revitalizing the St. Johns River.  Now we need to make sure that these opportunities are shared by all, and that's where you come in.

I urge you to look closely at the strategies advocated by the Blueprint for Prosperity initiative.  Ask yourself this:  Where do you fit in?  Are you part of Jacksonville's plan for the future?

Remember:  In order for Jacksonville to compete and succeed both locally and globally, we all need to work together.  I encourage you to get involved with this effort to make Jacksonville an even more prosperous community.

Warm regards,

John Peyton                                           
Mayor, City of Jacksonville
