John Peyton was sworn in as Jacksonville's Mayor on July 1, 2003, only the second Republican in 100 years to be elected
to that office. Now in his second term, Mayor Peyton's accomplishments include successfully hosting the city's first-ever
Super Bowl, cultivating multi-million-dollar economic development, streamlining government operations and launching a nationally-recognized early literacy program.
Peyton is also working with more than 300 community partners to establish a blueprint for increasing per capita income
in Jacksonville. That program is long-term, but it's developing in an environment with considerable momentum. Since Jacksonville
hosted the Super Bowl in 2005, local business expansion and corporate relocations have yielded more than 7,100 new jobs and
nearly $500 million in private capital investment. Another successful initiative is the Small and Emerging Business program,
which Mayor Peyton created to help small and minority businesses compete successfully for city contracts.
He will speak on March 12 at the Fourth Grand Table of Experiences Presentation: 3 remarkable experiences on innovations
for the endogenous development.
