Jacksonville’s first ‘Food Plan’ seeks community input at public meetings

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The City of Jacksonville is developing its first-ever Food Plan, a sweeping look at how food moves through the city today and a roadmap for where it goes tomorrow.

The city says the plan is rooted in community-driven initiatives already underway across Jacksonville, and officials say public participation is key to making sure it reflects the people and neighborhoods it will serve.

The city is hosting a series of public meetings this spring to share progress updates and collect feedback directly from residents.

Three meetings are scheduled at library branches across Jacksonville:

• Monday, March 30, from 6–7:30 p.m. at Dallas Graham Library, located at 2304 Myrtle Ave. N.
• Wednesday, April 1, from 5:30–7 p.m. at Highlands Regional Library, 1826 Dunn Ave. T
• Monday, April 13, from 5:30–7 p.m. at Southeast Regional Library, 10599 Deerwood Park Blvd.

Residents who can’t attend in person or who have questions can reach the Food Plan team directly by email at foodplan@coj.net.
