Mississippi Arboretum Trail

The Canadian Railroad recently donated $25,000 to Jackson and five other cities in Mississippi to support the Mississippi Arboretum Trail, an initiative to establish community parks and green spaces throughout the state.

The Mississippi Urban Forest Council, a statewide nonprofit, is working with national nonprofit America in Bloom to create the Mississippi Arboretum Trail, an initiative to establish community parks and green spaces throughout the state.

Five other cities—Byram, McComb, Canton, Yazoo City and Terry—are also involved in the trail.

The Canadian Railroad donated a total of $25,000 to the six cities to help fund the arboretum trail in January 2019.

In Jackson, MUFC will focus its efforts on converting previously abandoned properties into parks. The Jackson arboretum will include a fruit tree orchard, flowers and pollinator plants, and shrubs.

MUFC began small planting efforts on Monday, Jan. 21.

The Federal Transit Administration awarded the City of Jackson $1 million for a transportation-focused corridor the City is calling ONELINE. It will connect 20 square miles along a route stretching from Fondren to downtown Jackson, then turn west and head out to Jackson State University. The corridor will include new infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycles, scooters and a bus rapid-transit system in Jackson. Mukesh Kumar, the City's planning director, said that construction in the area will begin around August 2019.
