(Jackson, MS) – The Department of Planning and Development is working with Hunden Strategic Partners to complete a feasibility/market study to assess downtown Jackson’s current market conditions and potential for future development.
During this time, the long-range planning group within the Department of Planning & Development will ideate, conceptualize, analyze and render projects. This group will help create a concept plan that describes the Project objectives, design criteria, architectural concepts, available public infrastructure and desired location of proposed uses. This plan will be incorporated into a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation for a Master Developer. Once a preferred contractor is identified and approved by the City Council, the City will enter into contract negotiations and execute an agreement with the Developer. It is anticipated that the project will be constructed in two phases of construction that will each last 18 months for a total of 3 years of construction time.
