The photo that Jacksonville Journal readers saw in 1968. (Lou Egner, Jacksonville Journal, October 1968)
Ahead of National Community Planning Month in October, join us to explore the original vision for consolidation; promises made, kept and broken; and how Jacksonville continues to feel the impacts of consolidation today. This conversation is a production of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, Ennis Davis of The Jaxson Magazine. Launched by Modern Cities in association with WJCT Public Broadcasting, The Jaxson is a multimedia project dedicated to urbanism and culture on Florida’s First Coast. In addition, this free virtual event is being sponsored by the First Coast Section of the American Planning Association.
