Great Cities Symposium
303 North Laura Street Jacksonville
FL 32202
Joseph Riley served as mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, for four decades. During that period he transfromed the city from a sleepy, coastal backwater into an international tourist destination, a major economic engine for the region, and a center for global trade.
City Beautiful Jacksonville is bringing Mayor Riley to Jacksonville to share his wisdom and experience about making cities attractive, livable, and thriving.
For $25 ( plus $3.16 in fees) participants will enjoy lunch and a talk by Mayor Riley about his remarkable success in Charleston.
Following Joe Riley’s talk, at 1:30, we will have a panel discussion on three topics central to making Jacksonville’s downtown successful:
- Fragmented downtown planning,
- Sea level rise and flooding, and
- Transportation.
The April 4th event will take place at the Main Library’s Conference Center, which can also be accessed from the facility’s Main Street entrance.
