The city of Jackson has the potential of transforming itself into a hip lively city with more than enough to often anyone. There are tons of history and suitable spaces to accommodate changes that will increase citizens’ activeness around the city, making it more enjoyable. Until Jackson’s potential is realized by developers, city planners, city council and mayor, Jackson will remain undesirable to many.

Thanks!
