The Smart North Florida submission to the Smart Cities Council Readiness Challenge earned a spot as a top ten finalist among nearly 200 entries. Though we didn’t make the final five selected at Smart Cities Week in San Diego, the Smart Cities Council staff and fellow cities in attendance raved about our progress and validated our approach.
North Florida TPO Executive Director Jeff Sheffield was asked to present our program to multiple groups at the conference. We are ahead of the pack on many fronts including our integrated data exchange, regional approach and partnerships with the tech community focusing on local businesses and start-ups.
