Brown University’s Community Noise Lab is launching a new study in Jackson to better understand how temperature, air quality, noise and personal perception affect residents’ comfort and overall quality of life. The team is collecting community survey responses ahead of field measurements beginning in February 2026, and neighborhood input will help shape the research.

The Jackson City Council has temporarily stopped streaming meetings on Facebook Live as it upgrades to a new digital broadcasting system. Residents can watch meetings through the city’s website or PEG Network YouTube page until Facebook Live resumes.

Jackson residents are invited to share their ideas for improving the city through JXN Rising’s public survey, helping shape future priorities across infrastructure, safety, housing, economic growth, and community revitalization.

The Greater Belhaven Foundation is asking neighbors and more to take its annual stakeholder survey, which helps guide the organization’s priorities and neighborhood projects in the year ahead.
