Jackson neighbors concerned about Livingston development
SUMMARY: The City of Jackson, Mississippi, is considering a new housing development project known as the Village of Livingston. In a recent meeting, residents learned about the proposed four-phase project, which aims to build 50 homes per phase priced between $200,000 and $300,000. Councilman Kenneth Stokes mentioned that councilmembers initially opposed the project but agreed to gather community feedback. Some residents are concerned about potential crime, while others see it as a beneficial investment for the city. The project area is near the Medical Mall, and further discussions are planned for another community meeting in two weeks.

SUMMARY: West Lowndes made it to the quarterfinals despite winning only one district game last year, thanks to their challenging 1A region 4 schedule. Head coach Anthony King noted that although they lost to the state champs Biggersville in the last three years, it helped prepare them for the playoffs. This year, the focus is on becoming state championship contenders, leveraging young talent and strong summer workouts. Senior Kam Evans leads by example, while junior Eli Sanders emphasizes the importance of enduring heat during summer practices. King's primary goal is to secure district wins to gain more home playoff games, starting the season against Aberdeen.
