Good morning, Jackson. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 22nd of May.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • The Opportunity Center in Jackson received a surprise when volunteers from Maymont Homes— a regional rental company with over 700 homes— beautified the shelter yesterday by refurbishing its gardens, repainting walls, and installing a new handicap ramp.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • A boil water notice has been issued for Florence and Cleary in Rankin County after a directional bore broke a water pipe — emptying a 150,000-gallon water tower and causing a car-sized sinkhole — which washed out part of a road.

  • JXN Water reported that 15 apartment complexes in Jackson owe over $100K each in unpaid water bills, part of a total of $7.5 million owed by 141 accounts.
