And within the city limits, projects are expected to begin soon.
Details for each project have not yet been announced. Some funding is expected from the city’s street funds and grant programs like Community Development Block Grants.
City laws allow property owners to initiate public improvements with a petition signed by at least 50% of property owners. But, they could be assessed for their share of the construction cost.

JACKSON, MI Indoor dining is back.
After a hiatus since mid-November, customers were able to dine at their favorite restaurants around Jackson on Monday, Feb. 1.
At The Dirty Bird, 140 W. Michigan Ave. downtown, customers started to fill available tables as the lunch hour approached. Manager Tommy Horvath was excited to see customers back in the building.

A steady flow of customers were spaced out at the bar and available tables, staying at the 25-percent capacity limits set by the state of Michigan.
