Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan met with 50 companies in London over 5 days in an effort to form what she called a “great partnership” that could produce more jobs in Jacksonville.
In a post on X, Deegan shared that she had a trade briefing meeting, discussed business opportunities, explored healthcare technology partnerships and met with the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom during her visit.
