About Acuity

Nearly two decades of infrastructure clarity.

For nearly two decades, Acuity Design Group has been the strategic communications partner infrastructure projects need to succeed. We bring clarity to complex initiatives, translate public sector challenges into compelling narratives, and build genuine community support for the work that shapes our regions.

Who We Are

Strategic communications for infrastructure, coast to coast.

Acuity Design Group specializes in strategic communications and community engagement for infrastructure projects across the continental United States. Since 2008, we've partnered with municipalities, transportation agencies, and development leaders from coast to coast to turn infrastructure initiatives into public understanding and support.

We don't just communicate about your project. We think strategically about how to communicate, to whom, and when — ensuring your message lands, builds trust, and moves projects forward.

Our Approach

Infrastructure success isn't about complexity. It's about clarity.

Whether you're advancing a mobility initiative, redeveloping a corridor, improving public services, or strengthening community assets, your stakeholders need to understand the vision, the process, and the value. We make that happen.

Every strategy we develop starts with current data: demographics, market trends, community sentiment, economic factors. This data-driven foundation separates assumption from insight. It's why our strategies work.

Data-driven strategy

Every engagement starts with current demographics, market trends, and community sentiment — not assumptions.

Targeted messaging

We think carefully about how to communicate, to whom, and when so your message lands with the right audiences.

Consensus building

We lead with data, build consensus, and ensure your project moves forward with public support behind it.

What We Deliver

Infrastructure projects fail when stakeholders don't understand them.

They stall when voices aren't heard. They derail when communication strategy is an afterthought. We solve this. We lead with data, build consensus, and ensure your project moves forward with public support behind it. That's not optional. That's essential.

Leadership

Cantrece Jones

Founder & Owner

Acuity was founded and is led by Cantrece Jones, a Jacksonville native with deep personal and professional roots in the communities the firm serves. She grew up in a military family, settled in North Jacksonville, and built her career on a simple conviction: the people a project affects deserve to be heard, and projects are stronger when they are.

Over 18 years, she has grown Acuity from a single-person practice into a trusted subconsultant and prime partner on transportation, energy, and infrastructure projects across Florida and the Southeast, with that same community-first instinct guiding every engagement.

How we work

Grounded. Equity-driven. Tenacious.

Grounded

We come from the communities we serve. That perspective keeps our engagement honest and our outreach real.

Equity-driven

We design outreach so the voices that are usually left out of public projects are the ones we work hardest to reach.

Tenacious

Public support is earned, not assumed. We do the persistent, detailed work that turns participation into outcomes.

18 years of expertise across transportation, planning, and community engagement. Our federal and multi-state certifications validate our commitment to excellence.View Certifications →
