Summary
Resolution 2026-198, introduced by Council Members J. Carlucci and Johnson, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the San Marco Preservation Society (SMPS) in Jacksonville. Established in 1976, the SMPS emerged from local efforts to revitalize San Marco Square, a historically significant neighborhood known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture and vibrant community character. The Society has played a crucial role in beautification initiatives, historic preservation, and promoting civic engagement, notably restoring the South Jacksonville City Hall in 2003. This resolution acknowledges the Society's contributions toward maintaining San Marco's historical and architectural significance, thereby enhancing the neighborhood's quality of life for current and future residents. The resolution will take effect upon the Mayor's signature.
