“It’s a new day in our city,” said Mayor Deegan. “So, we felt it was time to refresh Jacksonville’s website in order to give citizens the best experience possible. To that end, we worked hard to modernize it and make it more intuitive, so that visitors can quickly and efficiently find the website itself, as well as the information they are searching for. We are well on our way to having one of the best city websites in the country, and I hope everyone will be as happy with the result as I am.”
 
Jacksonville.gov offers a new look and feel with an updated home page that connects citizens to critical resources, while retaining the content from the previous site, coj.net.

And, to keep things as simple as possible, coj.net links will automatically redirect users to the corresponding page on Jacksonville.gov. Additionally, there are no plans to change City of Jacksonville emails at this time.

All of the work on the new site was completed in-house with the City’s Information Technologies Division.

“The fact that we built such a beautiful and engaging website with existing city resources is a significant cost savings for taxpayers,” said Wanyonyi Kendrick, Chief Information Officer for the City of Jacksonville. “We will continue to innovate over time, with a transparency dashboard and AI chatbot as the next pieces of functionality to be implemented, so be sure to keep an eye out for those.”
