"Emerald necklace" plan

Wow, while still reeling over the crazy news of Dane Gray joining JEA's board (I'm sure he doesn't have his mind made up about JEA privatization), this is awesome news. Additionally it looks like Brian Wolfburg (VyStar CEO) and David Miller (Brightway founder) joined as "champions". While it sounds like the latter role will be that of cheerleaders, those are two good names to sign on.

This is the first time I believe that groundwork will actually get something done.  Congrats Ennis and let's get this show on the road!

Ennis was on the Emerald Trail steering committee and provided valuable insight (and practicality) in that group. GW Jax has been impressive building its leadership and momentum.

"Champions" could also be great fund raisers and donors. Vystar in particular seems focused on downtown. If I remember correctly, Groundworks can get matches for donations, so if a couple of corporations step up this could snowball.

Congrats Ennis!

Should you need more cheerleaders you have the whole Jaxson blog on here to support the initiatives!
