Thank you, Anne Coglianese, for joining us Wednesday to talk through Jacksonville's Resiliency Plan and what it means for San Marco and Northbank. Anne covered topics including shocks and stressors like flooding and extreme heat, and implementable actions to strengthen our city's resiliency like design solutions and public-private partnerships.

We wanted to make sure everyone has access to the resource in Anne's presentation. Here's the full Resilient Jacksonville plan: jacksonville.gov/departments/planning-department/resilience

And thank you to every neighbor who showed up to listen, ask questions, and dig in. The turnout was genuinely inspiring to see. We are looking forward to the next one!

How do we preserve San Marco while preparing for the future? If you've noticed San Marco changing, and there's someone whose whole job is thinking about what comes next.

Meet Anne Coglianese, Jacksonville's first-ever Chief Resilience Officer. She is partnering with SMPS to walk us through the City's Resiliency Plan with a close look at two efforts hitting close to home: living shorelines and the urban forestry program. Expect the conversation to get specific for San Marco and Northbank property owners. This conversation reaches beyond our neighborhood. Residents, merchants, city council reps, and Northbank neighbors alike will find something worth hearing.
