Eastside Gets $7.6M in Funding | Jacksonville News

Big money’s on the way for the Eastside—$7.6 million from the Jaguars’ community benefits agreement, with applications due August 3. After nine months of setup, the grants committee is ready to distribute $4 million starting October, plus $4 million already earmarked. Chair Rudy Jamison says this is a historic chance to uplift a long-overlooked community—and urges as many groups as possible to apply. Missed the mandatory ethics workshop? Wait until May next year. Grants will be voted on in December, and microgrants for local businesses may roll out this fall too. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
