Great Things In Jacksonville holds dear our vision of creating a community of ‘DO’ers who will create, change and improve Jacksonville increasing livability and neighborliness for all. We are a cornerstone for positive growth and change. We do this by working in teams and partnerships creating, funding, and completing exciting valuable projects within the city limits of Jacksonville. By utilizing
the talents of citizens and partnerships we will complete a variety of undertakings. There is no other group doing what we do. Our current projects include city beatification, creation of recreation areas, utilization of technology to access information, and creating groups of people willing to work to bring joy and excitement to our small town. Current statistics show Jacksonville has about a 25% rate of poverty and a very high rate of obesity across all age and socioeconomic groups. Our city schools have enrollments at all-time highs. As a result of Covid there is pent up demand with young families and other groups who are ready to get outside, meet their neighbors and friends creating a dynamic community. Our projects will impact these groups and benefit our local businesses. We are tackling projects the community has often talked about doing. Imagine groups of children enjoying community gaming days. Imagine watching our community enjoying welcoming street art murals and taking selfies to share. How about the joy when a person in a wheelchair can enjoy a swing set built with them in mind? What would happen with a nice dog park built for people and their dogs to play? We can create these types of projects, but not alone.
