The Premise

Why This Exists

Jacksonville is in the middle of the biggest building boom in its history — but the story is scattered across board agendas, permit filings, and hearing minutes. Moving Jacksonville Forward reads all of it, every week, and sends you the ten minutes that matter.

Who Makes This

Joe Murphy

Founder, bizooma · Editor, Moving Jacksonville Forward

Joe has spent more than twenty years in digital marketing and web development — and more hours reading Jacksonville's board agendas, permit filings, and hearing minutes than he'd like to admit.

"I started this brief because the story of Jacksonville's growth was scattered across a hundred agendas and filings nobody had time to read. Now it's ten minutes, once a week. That's the whole promise."
