Union Market welcomes visitors during 601 JXN Day Weekend and will host artist events through August while Union Station undergoes a $4.5 million renovation to add new office and work spaces scheduled to complete by summer 2026 — officials said.
A two-vehicle rollover crash on Highway 80 near Wiggins Road in Jackson injured two people who were lifted into ambulances near a Texaco gas station—police, fire and ambulance crews worked at the scene and cleared traffic by 8:36 a.m.
Councilman Vernon Hartley urged JXN Water to fix a leaking valve at the former Metrocenter Mall near the Highway 80 entrance—water has been wasted for months and lowered pressure for nearby schools and homes.
