JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Jackson city officials marked a major milestone recently with the demolition of the old police precinct building in downtown Jackson.
At a press conference Monday, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said the demolition, which wrapped up recently, is the first in a major initiative to remove major eyesores across the city.
“Not only are they less aesthetically pleasing to our residents, citizens and visitors, they are a barrier to future investment,” he said. “There are many eyesores across the city that we intend to tackle over the coming weeks and months.”
