Why It Matters

When federal environmental protections are scaled back and resilience funding becomes politicized, local decision-making takes center stage — but also carries more risk.

At JaxBNimble, we track how these top-down changes shape bottom-up choices — from raising roads or funding emergency boats 🛥️, to helping neighborhoods rebuild after floods. Our goal is to connect block group–level conditions with budget tradeoffs, public participation, and vendor confidence.

📊 We're developing local dashboards to explore:

• Which Jacksonville communities were targeted for resilience upgrades

• Which projects were delayed or defunded

• How future FEMA, HUD, or infrastructure funds might flow — or stall — under new rules

📍 Starting with Jacksonville, we'll ask:

Who wins or loses when oversight shifts from DC to Tallahassee? Or from state agencies to local AI?
