In a released statement, Mayor Deegan stated “The Burtons are in our hearts and our prayers as Greg faces unexpected health challenges. I am incredibly grateful for Lakesha’s service to Jacksonville, both in the Mayor’s Office and during her extensive 24-year tenure with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. She is a passionate and dedicated public servant who deeply cares about our community. I look forward to future collaborations with her.
This unexpected change in leadership marks a significant shift in Jacksonville’s ongoing community initiatives. The city will now commence the search for a new Director of Community Initiatives who will carry forward the important work initiated by Lakesha Burton.Left lane blocked due to crash on FL-10 Atlantic Blvd Westbound at Brookview Dr.
