Economic Development

Happy 232nd Birthday America!
On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day, thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.

This dream has helped to make the U.S. a diverse nation. Celebrate this freedom, diversity, and independence with area citizens. The City of Jacksonville is hosting a FREE concert at Metro Park, ice skating at the Arena ($2 from 10 AM – 5 PM), a police escorted motorcycle ride (beginning at 2:30 PM with a cost of $35 each rider / $15 passenger) and, of course, fireworks above the St. Johns River (9:45 PM).  Call 630-CITY for more information.
