SUMMARY: Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba has responded to Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s directive for the city to transfer the deed for Smith-Wills Stadium to the state. Fitch’s September 13 letter cites House Bill 1983, claiming the stadium has not been used for the public park purposes required by a 1944 deed, necessitating the transfer. Lumumba criticized the approach, suggesting dialogue is preferable for discussing potential improvements to the stadium. He emphasized the need for collaboration to benefit both Jackson residents and Mississippi. The city has until September 30, 2024, to comply or face legal action.
