JACKSON, Miss. - The city of Jackson and the Jackson Housing Authority broke ground on a multiphase project to provide healthy housing opportunities and contribute to neighborhood revitalization in May. The event marked the beginning of Phase 1 of a development planned as part of the North Midtown Neighborhood Master Plan. The Master Plan was completed last year by the neighborhood residents, the North Midtown Community Development Corporation and the Jackson Housing Authority.

The $3.49 million project is comprised of 16 new sustainable housing units (eight duplexes), and includes additional site and infrastructure improvements. Funds for the project were made available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The new 1,600-square-foot, one- and two-story housing units being built in Phase 1 are sustainable, liveable, secure and economical.
