PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Jepp Walter, SBMC 2013 PresidentJepp Walter, President 
Southside Business Men's Club 

(904) 838-8400

 

This week we will hear all about the Better Jacksonville plan from Andy Johnson, a local talk radio host.  The Better Jacksonville Plan was the signature project of Mayor John Delaney. It was approved by Jacksonville voters on September 5, 2000.  Most people think that it was for the purpose of upgrading our roads and highways, but it was much more than that.  We'll all have a better understanding of what remains in the project after Andy's talk.

 

I'll see you Wednesday!
