THE CITY OF SANFORD’S Equity Task Force Initiative spent several months identifying Sanford and Lee County’s equity needs.
This collaborative process involved learning from knowledgeable people in community organizations, businesses, City and County departments, and educational institutions.

The task force worked with experts in health, education, leadership, public safety, and community building to ensure they had a full grasp of the subject.
After studying the identi ied areas of need, the task force worked to create a vision for a more equitable community that included practical, applicable solutions.
Speci ically, these solutions centered around housing and homeownership, wages and income, criminal justice and law enforcement, leadership and inclusion, health, education, communication, and community responsibility.
The task force presented their indings to the Sanford City Council and Lee County Board of Commissioners in November 2021.
