Congratulations to Jack Meeks, one of the principals of Meeks Ross and Associates, who has been appointed to the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission by Mayor John Peyton.
Jack will bring a quiet thoughtful and genteel voice of empowerment to the beleaguered commission, the appointment should become official today.
I don't personally know much about Mr. Meeks...what kind of a voice will he be? Progressive and visionary or just another body nodding yes? What has he spoken for or against in recent years? I wish him luck and look forward to his contributions to JEDC.
I have only briefly met Jack. From everything I have been told about him he will be a great asset to JEDC. Kudos to Mayor Peyton for appointing him.
