Jackson Free Press: JRA Mulls ‘Union Market’ Downtown

From the Jackson Free Press:

The city is soliciting community input on an empty storage space across from the King Edward Hotel in downtown Jackson that could become an open-air market, dubbed “Union Market,” Jackson Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Jason Brookins told an audience of the Young Professionals Alliance yesterday.

The 10,000-square foot space, located under the Mill Street Viaduct at the corner of Mill and Capitol streets, served as storage for construction materials during the King Edward’s renovation. With an open plan, tall ceilings and power outlets on every support pillar, the space only needs updated lighting, Brookins told the Jackson Free Press.
