JRA Chair: Seven businesses coming to Farish Street
SUMMARY: The Farish Street district in Jackson, Mississippi may see a revival as seven businesses have recently committed to moving to the area. The first phase of revitalization efforts will include restaurants, bookstores, health and beauty stores, arts and culture establishments, and an architecture firm. The historic district has struggled with revitalization in the past, with over $11 million in taxpayer funds spent with little success. The Jackson Redevelopment Authority (JRA) is taking a different approach this time, focusing on incremental redevelopment and private financing. The JRA is also reviewing proposals for the development of the “Soul City Market” and considering public funding options.
