West Point mayor speaks on city hall renovations
SUMMARY: The historic City Hall of West Point, dating back to 1909, is set for a significant renovation following a $500,000 grant from the state Department of Archives and History. The funds will be used for interior repairs on the second floor and roof fixes. According to Mayor Ron Bobo, the building has had roofing issues for decades, with past administrations only doing minor repairs. The grant allows for crucial improvements, and work is expected to commence soon. The mayor acknowledged the importance of the funding in addressing these longstanding issues.
The City of West Point received money for renovations to its city hall.
SUMMARY: A significant software glitch is disrupting Mississippi’s driver license bureaus, with operations expected to resume by the week’s end. The Department of Public Safety revealed that a routine update from a third-party vendor caused the issues, resulting in 2 to 3-hour wait times at various offices. Currently, only limited services, such as gun permits and ID cards, are being offered. Commissioner Tindle addressed accountability and future contracts with the vendor to prevent recurrence. He urged the public to remain patient as staff work diligently to resolve the chaos caused by the tech failure.
Mississippi DMVs could return to normal by the end of the week.
SUMMARY: Residents of the Georgetown community in Jackson are frustrated with the ongoing closure of a bridge on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, which has been shut for years. Reverend PJ Williams and local leaders feel neglected after promises to repair the bridge went unmet. The closure has led to accidents, disrupted community activities, and a growing pothole emitting foul odors. Despite addressing the city council and mayor, no action has been taken. Reverend Williams emphasizes the urgency of the situation, calling for immediate repairs. Efforts to get a response from the city have been unsuccessful.
