The Planning and Development Department works in coordination with appointed boards and committees that provide oversight, technical review, and community input on matters related to growth and development within the City of Jackson. These committees play an important role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making.

Committees may include advisory boards such as the Planning Board, Zoning Board, Historic Preservation Commission, and other review panels established by ordinance or state law. Members are typically appointed to represent a broad range of professional expertise and community interests, helping guide recommendations on land use, development proposals, zoning amendments, and long-range planning initiatives.

Meeting schedules, agendas, and minutes are made available to the public to encourage community engagement and participation in the planning process. Residents, developers, and stakeholders are encouraged to attend meetings and provide input on matters that shape the future of Jackson.
