Jobs for Jacksonville
We are a grassroots movement, made up of taxpaying citizens of Duval and surrounding counties. Our cause is simple, yet just. We contend that in order for Duval county to recover economically, all municipally funded construction jobs should provide for preferential treatment to local contractors and workers. We also DEMAND from our government, that all undocumented workers be removed from these jobs, contractors that hire them be removed and prosecuted, and that meaningful steps be taken to prevent this from reoccurring on future projects. As of now, the Duval County Courthouse is in the spotlight, but we have a blemished track record here, and many fear that the Grenland Energy Center will continue this infamous tradition.
The purpose of this website is to gather and distribute information, and allow opinions to be voiced on these matters. We encourage participation, and ask that angry citizens contact their Mayor and Council Persons.
