Mayor John Peyton (right) was the guest speaker at Monday’s Rotary club meeting. Here, he’s joined by former Mayor Ed Austin and former Jacksonville University President Fran Kinne. Peyton talked about several things and pointed out that much of the rebirth of Downtown is due to the vision of Austin when he was mayor. Peyton said Austin’s creation of the Jacksonville Children’s Commission and his River City Renaissance plan designed to move government off the river and into the Downtown core have been catalysts for his Rally Jacksonville! plan and the revitalization of Downtown from a business perspective. “We are harvesting the work of former mayors,” said Peyton.
