Downtown Jackson is stepping into spring with intention, energy and a renewed sense of community as Downtown Jackson Partners launches its Downtown in Bloom spring series. Running from April 1 through May 16, the activation transforms one of the city’s most historic green spaces into proof that Jackson is not waiting to be discovered. It is already blooming.

The Jackson City Council held a session on 04/07/2026 with an agenda that reflected a balance of routine approvals, infrastructure investments, and broader discussions about how the city prioritizes growth, services, and quality of life for residents. It also had moments of critical debate over water and the budget. 

When the days get longer and yards begin to wake up after the winter cold, Jackson gardeners turn to a handful of annual plant sales to kick off the spring season. From hearty old standards to heirloom varieties, native species, colorful annuals and perennials, and more, Jackson’s plant sales offer the area numerous options and opportunities for home and neighborhood beautification.

The Jackson City Council met March 23rd for a regular session meeting. This recap highlights key agenda items and discussions with potential impact on neighborhoods across Jackson.
