Livingston development moves forward after heated discussion
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. The plan involves building 200 homes priced between $200,000 and $300,000, aiming to provide an economic boost to the city. Construction is expected to start within the next two to three months.

SUMMARY: On Election Day, Americans will vote in various races, from local offices to the presidency. A guide is available for polling place closing times across the states. Although initial results may emerge soon after polls close, final tallies could take longer, particularly in close contests. Some municipalities may vary in their polling hours. For example, in Alabama, polls close at 7:00 p.m. CT, while California’s close at 8:00 p.m. PT. To better understand when results may be reported, voters are encouraged to verify their polling location’s hours in advance.

SUMMARY: In Tupelo, Mississippi, 19-year-old Joshua James and a juvenile face charges related to a police pursuit and the theft of a police car. James is charged with Directing a Felony to Be Committed by a Person Under Seventeen, Grand Larceny, and Felony Fleeing, with a bond set at $100,000. The incident began on November 1 when police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. After a chase that ended when the stolen truck crashed south of Verona, James was apprehended, while his juvenile passenger fled in a police car, which was later found wrecked. The juvenile’s case will be handled in Youth Court.

SUMMARY: The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors has secured funding to construct storm shelters in Crawford, Artesia, and Plum Grove, areas lacking local shelter during severe weather. Each community will receive four FEMA-funded shelters, accommodating up to 20 people each, on government property at a total cost of $103,692, with FEMA contributing $93,000. The supervisors anticipate these shelters will significantly enhance safety for residents during storms. Vice President Jeff Smith highlighted their importance, expressing relief for community members who have long awaited a secure refuge. While installation timelines remain unclear, the project is expected to proceed soon.
