NATCHEZ, Miss. – Mayor Dan Gibson broke a 3-3 city board tie Tuesday to move forward on selling the old Natchez General Hospital to owners of an adjacent mansion. The vote came amid allegations this is to keep blacks out of a neighborhood of whites opposed to the vacant facility becoming apartments.
The Natchez Board of Aldermen deadlocked on beginning the process for selling the city-owned blighted property to Ginger and James Hyland, who own The Towers antebellum estate behind the old hospital.
In breaking the tie, Gibson voted to get appraisals on how much the Hylands should pay to purchase the old hospital from the city.
