A $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will be used for the East Side Commercial Corridor Improvement Project, bringing street construction to portions of E. Washington Avenue, S. Elm Avenue and Page Avenue.
E. Washington Avenue between Cooper Street and S. Elm Avenue will be fully reconstructed. A one-block section of S. Elm Avenue between E. Washington and Page Avenue will also be fully reconstructed. Page Avenue between S. Elm Avenue and the City Limits at Ann Street will be resurfaced.
The total cost of the project is expected to be $10 million, with $4 million from the federal government and rest covered by the City of Jackson.
The first step of this project happened at the May 13 City Council meeting, where an engineering contract to plan the project was considered by councilmembers.
Preparatory work is expected to begin in 2026 with lead service line replacements.
Street construction is likely to take place in phases over the 2027 and 2028 construction seasons.
