Today we dive into the hot-button issues of historic preservation in Jacksonville.

Join the discussion on the removal of the Confederate monument, legislation around it, and the ongoing debate on the Laura Street Trio project. 

Plus, don't miss the insights on the potential move of the police memorial building.

With legislative updates, including Representative Dean Black's controversial bill and Mayor Donna Deegan's role in the removal of the statue, we talk about the complexities of local governance and the potential impact on Jacksonville's reputation.

But the episode doesn't just stop at discussion - it sets the stage for action! 

Listeners are encouraged to watch Mayor Deegan's inspiring address at the MLK breakfast and observe the audience's reaction, offering a valuable opportunity for engagement and reflection.

Additionally, we share the anticipation for guest Alan Bliss's upcoming insights on historic preservation, promising an episode that's not to be missed.
