On Friday, Mayor Donna Deegan will launch 'Resilient Jacksonville,” a 50-year strategy to ensure the River City's infrastructure is strong enough and adaptable enough to confront flooding and extreme heat.
– At a University of North Florida environmental symposium on Friday, Mayor Donna Deegan plans to launch “Resilient Jacksonville,” a 50-year strategy to ensure the River City’s infrastructure is strong enough and adaptable enough to confront flooding and extreme heat.
The city said data and science have guided the planning process, and a great deal of care was taken to ensure every corner of Jacksonville was studied. The goal would be to reduce water pollution by using things like rain gardens, swales and tree trenches to store stormwater runoff before it can get to sewers, which can cause overflow and flooding.The city also plans to relocate city-owned resources outside of a flood plain. Officials say the benefit is cutting the cost of replacing resources that could be damaged or destroyed during a major weather event.
