LEGISLATIVE WINS FOR DOWNTOWN

DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION OF 2022, DOWNTOWN JACKSON PARTNERS CONTRACTED WITH CORNERSTONE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS AND WORKED HARD TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH STATE OFFICIALS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING AND ADVOCATING FOR NECESSITIES OF DOWNTOWN JACKSON. DURING THE SESSION, WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE $2 MILLION FOR VITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THALIA MARA HALL, AS WELL AS SUPPORT VARIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY EFFORTS FOR DOWNTOWN WHICH INCLUDE THE AUTHORIZATION OF 37 NEW CAPITOL POLICE OFFICERS, THE FUNDING OF TEMPORARY JUDGES FOR HINDS COUNTY TO DEAL WITH CASE BACKLOG, AND FUNDING FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS IN HINDS COUNTY AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC DEFENDERS. DOWNTOWN JACKSON PARTNERS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THESE RELATIONSHIPS, ADVOCATING FOR A BETTER DOWNTOWN JACKSON FOR ALL WHO LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY HERE.
