In the wake of our #bookclub call yesterday re: #JacksonRising, I did a little more digging and found there is a parallel effort in West Jackson that seems to have the buy-in of Jackson State and the city.
Here is a link to the group -- https://westjxn.com/
Here is a study they published about West Jackson -- https://westjackson.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/west-jackson-planning-guidebook-final-1.pdf
Interesting that neither group seems to mention the other. Two different approaches in the same area. 1/2

Also interesting to note that the University, city and state own significant property in that area already. (As of October 2014, when the guidebook linked previously was completed.) 2/2
