A citywide update for the week of February 3, 2025.

Ward 3 is one of Jackson’s most historic and culturally rich areas. Every city ward except Ward 6 makes up its borders. Its boundaries are Hanging Moss Creek (north), parts of I-55 and N Mill Street (east), W Fortification Street/Bullard Street (south), and Broadview Street and Ford Avenue (west). Some of its most notable neighborhoods include Georgetown, Elraine (Medgar Evers Neighborhood Historic District), Fondren North, and Virden Addition. 

Residents and volunteers from across Jackson walked from Freedom Corner—the intersection of Medgar Evers Boulevard and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive—to Lanier Junior-Senior High School, collecting trash, tires, and recyclables along the way.

Whether part of a neighborhood association or simply a resident looking to connect with your neighbors, choosing the right communication tools can foster collaboration, trust, and a sense of community.
