Goal 2: Resilient Infrastructure and Natural Resources

The purpose of the Community Goals Framework is to ensure the alignment of community priorities and to create a common language that all sectors can utilize to define their investments.
This month we are highlighting Goal 2 - Resilient Infrastructure and Natural Resources: Promote resilient and connected infrastructure and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.
In the summer of 2021, the City of Jacksonville hired its first Chief Resilience Officer.
