 Around 100 community and business leaders gathered at Pine Grove Barn on Shadd Farms on Wednesday, June 4, for the inaugural meeting of the Union County Impact Initiative.

Organizer Tina Lloyd said she thought of bringing together the group after attending a meeting in Alachua about how that community addressed mental health needs and the demand for other social services.

“I said, Union County needs something like this,” she recalled thinking, “because there are a lot of things that you, this group, are probably not aware of.”
