SUMMARY: Hattiesburg and the Forest County Board of Supervisors are collaborating to replace two deteriorating bridges on Glendale Avenue, one in Forest County and another within Hattiesburg city limits. These bridges, which span a river and railroad tracks, face projected poor conditions by 2026. To fund the estimated $5.4 million project, city and county leaders aim to apply for a federal grant through the Bridge Investment Program, which allocates over $2 billion for bridge repairs nationwide in fiscal year 2025. Securing this funding is vital due to escalating costs and the increasing urgency of maintaining infrastructure.

Hattiesburg and Forrest County applied to receive funding for the bridge replacement to take place.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
