The beat runs across decisions made by the consolidated city-county government, Duval County Public Schools, the courts and the employers anchoring the regional economy. From Riverside and Avondale to Springfield, San Marco and Ortega, neighborhood coverage extends into Clay County, St. Johns County, Nassau County and Baker County where stories cross the line. The Jacksonville Jaguars give professional sports a prominent place in local coverage, and stadium and waterfront development decisions return alongside broader planning debates.
