Jeff Bergosh Blog: What's the Best Way for Government to Work With the Private Sector to Improve Communities?

Guidelines

I am one member of a five person board. The opinions I express on this forum are mine only, and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Escambia County Staff, Administrators, Employees, or anyone else associated with Escambia County Florida. I am interested in establishing this blog as a means of additional transparency to the public, outreach to the community, and information dissemination to all who choose to look. Feedback is welcome, but because public participation is equally encouraged, appropriate language and decorum is mandatory. Although this is not my campaign site for re-election--sometimes campaign related information will be discussed, therefore in an abundance of caution I add the following : Political Advertisement Paid for and Approved by Jeff Bergosh, Republican, for Escambia County Commissioner District 1

What's the Best Way for Government to Work With the Private Sector to Improve Communities?

I recently had the opportunity to ask community leaders this very question. Studer Community Institute founder and CEO Quint Studer, Escambia County Administrator Jack Brown, Escambia Circuit Court Judge Gary Bergosh, and I had a very good conversation on this topic.

--What can government do to help the private sector develop our area for the benefit of citizens?

--What are we doing right in Escambia County--and where can we improve?

--What makes a great community?

--How can the local government and the private sector help improve our schools?

--What is the best governance model for our schools--Appointed or Elected Superintendent? (On the ballot this November)

These and other questions were discussed and answered in this interview. I appreciate these leaders taking their time to speak with me on the show.
