The Jackson City Council met Tuesday, May 19, for its regular meeting, addressing public safety, blight, infrastructure, youth programming, neighborhood development and city operations.

Bees deserve our respect, and not just because they can sting. As essential infrastructure for healthy neighborhoods, bees pollinate plants, support ecosystems, and can bring people together, to encourage beautification, conservation and community.. Since 1970, it’s fallen to the Central Mississippi Beekeepers Association (CMBA) to spread that message far and wide. 

Now entering its fourth year, 601 Day returns May 28 through June 1 with a packed lineup of events stretching across the city. Organized through a collaboration between Visit Jackson, local businesses and community organizations, the celebration continues to grow each year.

The Jackson City Council met for its regular session, addressing neighborhood development, public safety, city operations and community investment initiatives impacting residents across Jackson.
