Jackson keeps on Siemens as part of Mississippi Museum of Art lease agreement By Anthony Warren | December 22, 2020 at 9:38 AM CST - Updated December 22 at 12:37 PM
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A decade-old lease agreement means that the city of Jackson has had to keep on a firm that it previously sued for $450 million in damages related to its water billing system.
At its meeting Tuesday, the Jackson City Council approved extending a contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. to monitor and service the HVAC and security systems at the Mississippi Museum of Art.
Council President Aaron Banks was quick to point out that this contract is not related to a contract the city previously had with the firm to upgrade its water billing system.
