Forward Focus

Hawthorne residents voiced long-standing frustrations over persistent issues such as food insecurity, road safety, and unreliable internet access at a recent Alachua County Forward Focus initiative.

About 40 people turned out for the fourth community listening session of the Alachua County Forward Focus project at the Jerusalem Church of God by Faith in Monteocha on Thursday. Several area residents spoke about their concerns, ranging from the need for safer roads to new business zoning.
