SUMMARY: A new development designed to attract young professionals to Jackson, Mississippi, is advancing despite controversy. The Jackson City Council voted 4-2, with one abstention, to proceed with the Village at Livingston Place project. Councilman Kenneth Stokes opposed it, citing dissatisfaction from his ward's residents. Robert Gibbs, attorney for the Alabama-based developer, noted that $2 million has been invested in clearing the area and installing utilities.
