The City of Jacksonville has committed to or is considering several big-ticket investments. The City must ensure the revenue capacity to make such investments while continuing to provide quality daily services. - Managing Revenue Volatility
Certain City of Jacksonville revenue streams are highly variable and beyond the city’s purview. The city must account for this variability using steady revenue streams to ensure predictable public investment.
The model indicates flat revenue growth under baseline conditions while outlining scenarios in which economic and policy changes could expand revenues.
