Here are highlights from the March 8 meeting of the Jackson City Council:
The City Council voted to approve special assessments to partially fund a construction project, which will resurface Greenwood from Morrell to Griswold streets. The majority of the project is being funded using federal and City funds. The roadway is currently more than 30 years old and is in a deteriorating condition. Construction is set to begin in July.
The City Council approved the sale of two vacant City-owned lots on W. Wilkins Street for a 51-unit apartment complex named The Greenwood. This apartment development will take shape on vacant lots located on Greenwood Avenue in a neighborhood south of Downtown Jackson. Rents will be offered based on income. Further property sales and approvals are needed before The Greenwood development continues to move forward. It’s expected to bring a $13 million investment to the community.
The City Council approved an initial plan to alter ward and precinct lines. The changes are required by the City Charter every 10 years to comply with the latest U.S. Census data and Jackson County Commission boundaries. A final vote will happen at the March 22 meeting.
Railroad bridges over N. Mechanic and N. Jackson streets are getting replaced by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) this year. The City Council approved contacts with MDOT to perform the work in the City. Construction starts later this month.
The City Council approved a marijuana facility license for a proposed business on E. South Street.
Several summer events were approved, such as Food Truck Tuesdays, Friday Film Nights, Relay for Life, and the Art, Beer and Wine Festival.
