JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – Councilman Kenneth Stokes said data centers are a new source of money for the city to fix roads and restore the Mayes Street bridge, which has barricades, piles of dirt and abandoned tires along its side. The bridge’s condition is causing drivers to take a different route.
Stokes said data centers would generate tax revenue to help pave roads and get the bridge restored.
“They are sick and tired of a bridge on Fortification with no lights … there’s no reflectors in the street, the street lines are not even painted,” Stokes said…
