Jacksonville is proud to be the home to Camp Lejeune and the New River Air Station and blessed with natural beauty enhanced by the New River and its waterways. The City of Jacksonville is a great place to live and work. Life within the City limits has benefits, safe environments created by nationally accredited Fire and Police departments, beautiful and enjoyable parks, family and fun activities by the Recreation and Parks Department, and an infrastructure making it all work.
The City of Jacksonville has a vision and that is to provide the leadership, vision, and oversight necessary to ensure the responsible stewardship of Jacksonville’s environment and natural resources, for the effective and efficient delivery of municipal services, and for the proper planning for the future. The Mayor and Jacksonville City Council have set a tone that provides environmental protection from water and sewer installations, development guidance that ensure green space and landscaping, encouragement of redevelopment and activities to revitalize established areas, and practices that have provided for a budget with an adequate reserve to accomplish tasks intended to maintain and improve the quality of life in the City.
