Executive Director’s Column: LISC Jacksonville’s Bold Approach to 2022
The aggressive nature of health, poverty, and other economic disparities have an amorphous way of sucking the life out of entire communities. The toll it has on both the people and their built communities has an impact that can be felt and seen over subsequent generations. In Jacksonville, particularly in communities north of the river, this impact has played out in the form of a lack of both economic and infrastructure investment. This lack of investment ultimately affects the people and the places they live.
