The city has decided to lift the restrictions on how they use their venues.
“Following CDC guidelines, protocols and with the expiration of the mask mandate last week and the amount of our population that has been vaccinated, at least with their first dose,” said Jackson Mayor Scott Conger.
Mayor Conger says he felt the time to lift the 50% limit for gatherings and groups in city venues is now.
These include the Carl Perkins Civic Center, Jackson Fairgrounds, Oman Arena, the Amp and the Ned.
The restriction lift benefits buildings, who will now be able to host their concerts and plays without the worry of having to limit their audience, bringing in more dollars.
