King Edward Renovation

The Jackson City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday night to apply for a $4 million grant which would pay for environmental studies on the Hotel King Edward, a Jackson landmark. With investors putting up $45 million of the needed $55 million, the project still looks like it has a good chance of happening. Along with the Mill Street aqueduct renovations and recently-renovated Amtrak station, this will greatly improve the aesthetics of downtown Jackson along with adding some much-needed residents.
