The city of Jacksonville plans to participate in the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities initiative.
Mayor Lenny Curry plans to finalize the distinction applied for by former Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown.
The Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities initiative is an effort to identify cities that show great resilience in the face of economic, social and environmental catastrophes, but may need some extra help to keep it up.
Curry’s spokesman Bill Spann says the new mayor is fully committed to the project. “We are absolutely moving forward,” Spann said.
