For the last two years Iâve worked in my spare time to prevent the demolition and redevelopment of two historic homes, with eight individual apartments, 11 bedrooms, community vegetable gardens, a vibrant subcommunity and adjacent open space in downtown Jackson. My goal has been to keep this property at 165 N. Glenwood Street serving locals who contribute to our community as it has for a century: affordable, modest, community housing, and, a new public greenspace opportunity. Why? For six years, Iâve lived in one of the apartments. My life was made better by stable housing and reasonable rent. Here, I figured, was a perfect opportunity to stop the loss of at least one unique, valuable, truly irreplaceable asset, and to leave one thing in Jackson better than I found it.
