In 2010, the journey began. Founder Jabari 0. Edwards Sr., a prominent businessman in Columbus, Mississippi, saw firsthand the how communities suffered due to industrial waste and poor air quality. He grew up blocks away from a site which caused soil contamination within a predominantly African-American neighborhood. As a dedicated citizen and local businessman, Mr. Edwards founded J5 GBL and focused heavily on environmental justice. He envisioned a firm that understands that it is not about the project, but about the people and the story that the project creates. Our company invests in the communities that we serve.
