Jackson Redevelopment Authority
We were created to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of slum and blight in urban renewal areas of the City of Jackson. Working every day in the public’s interest, JRA’s goal is to eradicate conditions which endanger lives or property, impair growth of the city, diminish housing accommodations, cause economic or social liability, and/or create a menace to public health, safety, morals or welfare.
At Jackson Redevelopment Authority, we are committed to promoting social equity, environmental sustainability and economic growth. Through strategic partnerships with the City of Jackson, Hinds County, the State of Mississippi, and other Public and Private Partnerships, we will work together to develop vibrant and engaging communities, unique to Jackson’s culture.
OUR VISION
JRA will be a catalyst for economic and cultural growth, helping to establish Jackson as the most prosperous, resilient and vibrant city in the South.
