Program Summary

Provide Neighborhood Job Opportunities – Reduce crime and improve general safety by creating vibrant commercial corridors and economic growth. City support will be strategically focused in neighborhoods where residents are most engaged in the development and management of the service and invested in strategies that leverage city funds.
The Town Center Program is intended to revitalize older neighborhoods by providing planning, design and infrastructure improvements to public spaces along key business areas and corridors. The goals of this program are to:

• Enhance both the visual appeal and physical infrastructure in older neighborhoods' commercial areas and corridors;
• Feature community visioning and planning;
• Encourage public/private partnerships;
• Leverage public dollars by coordination with the Better Jacksonville Plan improvements in the areas; and
• Encourage renewal of old commercial areas that in turn will aid and serve the residential uses.
