A community effort to revitalize Mayport by restoring what was once its vibrant commercial fishing economy has been a volunteer affair thus far.
That could change soon, thanks to a Jacksonville City Council ordinance that would provide $154,100 in city funding to hire professional staff and make property improvements to help drive the redevelopment forward.

Ordinance 2024-0476 would provide a $110,000 grant to the nonprofit Mayport Waterfront Partnership to bring aboard an executive director and grant writer, plus pay for office supplies, professional services, web maintenance and marketing. The remainder of the funding would go toward new signage and to-be-determined property upgrades related to the district project.
