JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – The next phase of the Museum Trail Greenway in Downtown Jackson is set to break ground on Monday.
According to a release, the project will extend Jackson’s trail network directly into the heart of downtown, linking museums, neighborhoods, landmarks, and civic spaces through a new green corridor.
Once complete, the Capitol Green Connector will connect the existing Museum Trail to major destinations, including the Old Capitol Museum, Two Mississippi Museums, the historic GM&O Depot, Hal & Mal’s, and future phases planned to connect to the Arts District, then Jackson State University.
“The Museum Trail Downtown Connector represents more than just a new path through our city, it is a symbol of connection,” Jackson Mayor John Horn said. “By linking our neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and business districts, this trail will bring people together around revitalizing Downtown Jackson, making it more vibrant, walkable, and economically dynamic.”…
