Jackson redevelopment project includes sports and entertainment center
SUMMARY: Former NBA star Erick Dampier, along with his partners, is proposing to transform the Jackson Square Promenade into a sports complex that could potentially house the Mississippi Raiders arena football team. City Council President Aaron Banks believes this project could revitalize the Terry Road Shopping Center and is hopeful that other abandoned shopping centers like Apple Ridge and the old Ramada Inn on Ellis Avenue could also be redeveloped. Dampier and his partners are investing their own capital into the project, which has already seen the demolition of old buildings and the clearing of sites like the KMart site on Highway 80.

Cameras capturing hundreds speeding through school zones
SUMMARY: Hattisburg Police Department has introduced handheld radar cameras in school zones to catch speeding drivers. Crossing guards and officers have noticed some change, but many drivers are still not slowing down. Over 400 speeding violations have been recorded in the first two weeks of the pilot program, with some drivers going well over the 50 mph speed limit. Despite plea from officers to slow down and be mindful of crossing guards and children, some drivers continue to speed. The pilot program will continue throughout the school year, with plans to implement the technology in all school zones next year if successful.
