Should Jacksonville adopt a data center moratorium? And what does a potential lawsuit by the Jacksonville Aviation Authority against the city mean for the future of consolidated government? We ask Mayor Donna Deegan about that, as well as how newly proposed Jacksonville Housing Authority job requirements could affect her plan to address homelessness in the city.

Guest: Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan

Sweet deal

Then, a Northside bakery expands its family-owned footprint to West Jacksonville. We ask the “The Cookie Man’s” daughter-in-law about carrying on his sweet legacy with an expansion of Arble Baking Co. The bakery has served cakes, pies and handmade cookies from its Dunn Avenue location for years, but before that, the family business was built around the reputation of Willis “The Cookie Man” Anderson, who made and sold cookies from his home kitchen for the better part of four decades. The new location opens later this year at Community First Credit Union’s new Murray Hill branch — former site of Edgewood Bakery.

Guests:

• Teia Anderson, co-founder, Arble Baking Co.
• Sam Inman, president and CEO, Community First Credit Union

10 years OutEast

What began as a community coalition evolved into a community development group and ultimately a vehicle to access much needed federal housing funds. The Historic Eastside — defined by the neighborhoods of East Jacksonville, Fairfield, Oakland, Campbells’ Addition and Phoenix — celebrates a decade in the business of growth and transformation with an evening devoted to history and storytelling. Al Letson, a Jacksonville native and Peabody Award-winning host of the podcast Reveal, returns to town to celebrate one of the city’s most important historically Black neighborhoods at Always Been Here: An Evening with Al Letson. The event will be held at WJCT Studios at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Guest: Suzanne Pickett, CEO of Historic Eastside Community Development Corp.
