From Your Director ...

It is with great enthusiasm that I take this opportunity to express my thoughts for the first time in my new role as Executive Director of the Jackson Downtown Development Corporation. As I embark upon this journey, I join an amazing group of people who strive to build a stronger, more viable downtown. I sincerely thank Mary Bearden, who has built a solid framework for the Jackson Downtown Development Corporation's future, and I look forward to building upon it.

I have a passion for connecting people, ideas and opportunities and I am excited about the new possibilities that will be created. This is an exciting time to lead the Jackson Downtown Development Corporation and to continue to demonstrate the value that it provides to Downtown Jackson. I invite you to explore Downtown Jackson and observe the transformation that is taking place. And, look for more exciting things to come from the Jackson Downtown Development Corporation.

Welcome to the future of Downtown Jackson ... one we can invent together!
