OUR FOCUS

URBAN RENEWAL AREAS

Urban Renewal Areas are “slum or blighted areas that have been designated by the City of Jackson as approved areas for urban renewal projects”.

Five Urban Renewal Areas have been designated by the City of Jackson and these are the 5 areas JRA is committed to work in. JRA’s work in these areas includes acquisition, demolition, rehab, the issuance of bonds, and more. JRA has the authority to exercise its statutory powers to support development and improvements for designated urban renewal areas, most of which have existing conditions of slum and/or blight, as well as other areas that are at risk of developing slum or blighted conditions. All urban renewal projects must be in designated urban renewal areas, and they must be consistent with the Urban Renewal Plan and the City of Jackson’s Comprehensive Plan (Future Land Use Plan). 

Central Business District

The Central Business District is the perfect place for you and your new business! Whether it’s a restaurant, coffee shop, office space or residential property, the downtown area offers many opportunities for Jackson residents as well as investors.
