“It’s an outgrowth of our great cities symposium,” Kirwin said. “We’ve been bringing in speakers from around the country to talk about what other cities are doing and what we can do as well here in Jacksonville. So what we’re doing now is we’re coming up with a program to really focus on different parts of our community, highlight what’s happening in those parts of our community, and have discussions about how can we enhance the quality of life in those areas.
Scenic Visions wants to “rediscover hidden gems outside the urban core while promoting neighborhood improvement and opportunities to engage the community in meaningful discussions.”“Things are happening in Arlington now, and that’s after years of decline,” Matchett said. “Of course, we were once the boom area of Jacksonville, years of decline. Now there’s a lot of good forces at work for revitalization.
“It blew me away, Kent, it really did,” Matchett said. “That was following a successful effort with the city council in preserving the Arlington Federal Savings and Loan Building, which is one of the most iconic examples of mid-century modern architecture in Arlington,” Matchett said. “That’s a big asset going for us. Arlington has the best and largest collection of mid-century modern in Jacksonville, and this architecture is now over 50 years old. It’s become historic in my lifetime, too.
