President Bill Clinton delivered remarks at an economic summit hosted by Mayor Alvin Brown where business leaders made landmark commitments to public-private partnerships to accomplish the mayor's goal of taking Jacksonville to the next level.
The economic summit on Friday, May 11, featured commitments from six companies in Jacksonville that will contribute resources to aid Mayor Brown's priorities. The corporate commitments align with top policy initiatives of Mayor Brown to run the city government effectively and efficiently, partner successfully with the private sector, and make bold policy decisions for the best return on investment for taxpayers. The announcements took place at the Terry Theater of the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts.
President Clinton served as the nation's 42nd president and founded the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods, and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among governments, businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private citizens to turn good intentions into measurable results.
Mayor Brown is a former senior adviser to President Clinton on issues including community revitalization, job creation, new business development and expansion of the supply of affordable housing. The mayor believes we must come together through public-private partnerships to combine our strengths in order to fully realize Jacksonville's potential.
"When I say, 'One city, one vision,' I mean just that," Mayor Brown said. "We are stronger together, and I am humbled and honored to be mayor of a city where so many businesses, organizations and individuals are willing to put forth resources and personal time to ensure that we continue to move the needle forward on key priorities, such as education, veterans services, quality of life and our local economy."
