In a Monday morning tour around the city, Jones gave the Times an exclusive look at his plans to revitalize River Oaks Center, redevelop the site of a demolished shopping center on the southeast side, build the cityâs first new housing in two decades and relocate the public works facility away from a residential area on the northwest side.
