Oklahoma City Convention & Visitor Bureau for Downtown redevelopment that relate to Jacksonville: • Tell our story, honestly: Jacksonville has a great story to tell but we have been too shy or ashamed to admit that it has not always been Chamber of Commerce material. Much of it involves race. Other Southern cities have turned their civil rights histories into tourist attractions. Jacksonville has great nationally known civil rights leaders. All we need to do is embrace their history. • Turn from cars to people: Planning for urban trails is underway by Groundwork Jacksonville. That should be impetus to create more twoway streets Downtown to foster more retail and services. • Cut red tape: Redevelopment is underway Downtown, but developers must slog through a swamp of regulatory hurdles. We need to bring a group of agencies into one room and work out the regulations in a more efficient manner. It’s mystifying that a Republican-dominated city still is hampered by regulations. Cornett is convinced that if Oklahoma City can redefine and rebuild itself, any city can do it. Jacksonville, a similar city, should be making more progress than it is. Mike Clark has been reporting and editing Downtown for the Jacksonville newspapers since 1973. He and his family lived in San Marco for most of that time and now live in Nocatee. The Oklahoma City National Memorial honors the victims, survivors, rescuers and all who were affected by the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. “We have taken a city that had been branded by tragedy and built it into a cosmopolitan, job-creating powerhouse, that is also known for its compassion,” former mayor Mick Cornett said.
