About Cathedral District-Jax, Inc.

Cathedral District-Jax, Inc. is a Jacksonville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that leads long‑term neighborhood redevelopment in the 36-block Cathedral District (Cathedral Hill) anchored by five historic churches. The organization develops and advances a coordinated master plan to bring workforce and mixed‑income housing, streetscape and public‑space improvements, community events, and partnerships with local institutions and developers. In recent years the nonprofit has moved from planning into implementation: it has published a master plan, secured philanthropic grants to support downtown repopulation, and advanced partnerships with affordable housing developers and city agencies to develop mixed‑income apartment communities. Cathedral District‑Jax maintains an active public presence through events, planning materials and outreach aimed at revitalizing downtown Jacksonville while preserving neighborhood character.
