LIFT JAX announced a partnership with Swisher that ties inclusive economic development to the company’s $135 million Jacksonville manufacturing expansion, the organizations said.

The City of Jacksonville, LIFT JAX and JEA held a press conference Thursday morning to celebrate a partnership to bring energy-efficient repairs to Eastside homes.

LISC Jacksonville and LIFT JAX have partnered to offer a program called Operation Boots.  LISC looks to build new homes while LIFT seeks to upgrade homes for current residents or potential buyers...all for essential workers.  If you are a teacher, first responder or other that is considered an essential worker and have a passion and desire to live in the Jacksonville downtown area, you’ll want to watch this, then tune into our social media channels for the full interview.  The incentives to move into the area are very manageable and offers the opportunity to give back to the Eastside area that you may eventually call home.

Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Shad Khan, through the Jaguars Foundation, personally committed $1 million to LIFT JAX and their work with the Historic Eastside Community Development Corporation.
