On May 21, 2009, nearly 300 leaders from the public, private and non-profit sectors together to discuss, analyze and develop alternative growth scenarios for our region through the year 2060.

Reality Check First Coast is a visioning exercise that asks regional leaders to envision the First Coast in the next 50 years by answering two questions: How should we grow? And where should we grow?

The exercise is designed to raise awareness of projected levels of region-wide growth and to lay the foundation for the development of a concrete list of next steps to meet the region’s future job, housing, transportation, infrastructure and recreation needs.
