DVI and JCCI Forward ‘tweet chat’ about Downtown as a distinctive neighborhood

Friday, Sept. 19, Downtown Vision, Inc. (@DTJax) partnered with the young professionals group JCCI Forward (@JCCIForward) to discuss via a Twitter “tweet chat” growing Downtown as a distinctive neighborhood, a Jax2025 target.

Through a series of questions, we interacted with Tweeters on their relationship with Downtown – how often they visit and why, what activities and destinations they recommend to visitors, and how they would define Downtown’s personality,  a discussion aimed to help us figure out ways to reach the Jax2025 vision of an ideal urban heart:
