Great City connects and accelerates efforts that improve quality of life for future generations in Mississippi by helping to build a strong capital city in Jackson.
A Great City for a Great State.
We believe that building a strong urban core in Jackson will lead to more economic growth, population retention, and sustainability for Mississippi. Jackson, Mississippi is the state capital, the largest city metro in the state, and has the highest concentration of people living, working, and learning.
Connecting Communities
The Lakeland Drive Pedestrian Bridge is a transformative investment creating a safe, ADA-accessible connection between museums, parks, trails, and outdoor destinations while removing one of the district’s longest standing barriers to walking and biking. By connecting key state assets and expanding the trail network, the project will strengthen regional connectivity, support economic growth, and enhance quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
