Mayor Curry Continues Community Conversations

December 18, 2015
New Series to Address Public Safety

Since taking office, improving public safety and investing in Jacksonville’s youth have remained top priorities for Mayor Lenny Curry. Throughout his administration, he has demonstrated his commitment to working closely with law enforcement officials and community leaders to improve safety for the citizens of Jacksonville.
With the recent relaunch of Jax Journey, an initiative focused on creating safer communities by supporting programs that enhance crime prevention and intervention efforts, Mayor Curry is seeking to engage citizens and leaders who share his commitment in a discussion on how to create brighter futures for youth. The first meeting of this series is Feb. 11, 6 p.m. at FSCJ North Campus. Sheriff Mike Williams and Superintendent Nikolai Vitti are expected to join him.
 
“Jacksonville is an incredible city with so much to offer its citizens,” said Mayor Curry. “During my campaign, I talked with hundreds of people throughout every corner of this city. And one of the most common concerns that I heard from many is violence, which is why public safety is a top priority for my administration.”
 
Designed to inform and educate the public, the Community Conversations will engage stakeholders in a series of discussions to identify gaps, needs, and opportunities for Jacksonville citizens. Professionals leading or serving businesses, faith communities, and families will share information and experiences with attendees. The general public is encouraged to attend:
