COVENANT ACTION PLAN · JACKSONVILLE 2027–2031

Neighborhood Action Plans

Distinct, measurable commitments for Jacksonville communities under one citywide service standard.

What the plan would do

This proposal begins with public facts, neighborhood input and the legal authority of each responsible agency. The mayor can recommend, coordinate, budget and administer within the office’s authority, while many major actions require City Council, independent authorities, the School Board, private partners or other public approvals.

  1. Publish neighborhood baselines for safety, roads, drainage and service requests
  2. Assign a responsible department and public milestone to every priority
  3. Hold district listening sessions before major capital recommendations
  4. Report progress quarterly in language residents can understand

Where proposed construction belongs

This plan does not propose another new riverfront building. Any new campaign construction concept described here would be studied for a suitable Westside or Northside site. Existing buildings in other parts of Jacksonville may still be repaired, maintained or reused without being presented as new riverfront construction.

How residents will measure delivery

Before asking for credit, the administration would publish a baseline, named responsibility, proposed funding source, approval path, milestones and an honest status. Quarterly reporting would show what moved, what stalled, what changed and why.

Campaign proposal only. Construction, reuse, funding and operations require feasibility review, lawful approvals and public accountability. Political advertisement paid for and approved by Fitz Desprez, Republican, for Mayor.
