Jacksonville, Florida Business District to Get Sidewalk Facelift
Downtown Vision is a non-profit organization funded by assessments on property in a ninety block radius around downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The organization has announced that it will be focusing its efforts on giving downtown Jacksonville a clean and safe appearance, and they are starting with the sidewalks. The organization has about $500,000 of its $1.2 million budget dedicated to its clean and safe program. The walks are covered with wads of used chewing gum and other dirt and grime that are making them look dingy and uninviting. Downtown Vision has recently contracted with Service Group, Inc. to help revitalize the dirty walkways. But according to Terry Lorince, executive director of Downtown Vision, “we’ve got a big catchup to do.” Service Group, Inc has the experience required; the company has contracts with at least twenty other downtown organizations across the country. As part of the contract, Downtown Vision’s on-street ambassadors will become employees of Service Group. Downtown Vision has also purchased some serious cleaning equipment, including a sidewalk scrubber, a “Billy Goat” vacuum and a pressure washer with a special attachment for powering off stuck on gum. It will take some time to clean all of the sidewalks in the downtown area, but local business owners and resident alike will benefit from the new clean and inviting look.
