The soul of our city is Downtown.

The soul of Jackson lives in our Downtown District. The Jackson Downtown Development Corporation (JDDC) works to enhance the quality of life in Jackson and the economic prospects of Jackson through the purposeful design, promotion and facilitation of strategic investment in its Downtown.

Local flavors + familiar faces.

It's a small town community filled with families, college students, business professionals, and empty nesters, where you can encounter someone you know on every corner. Whether you're hanging out at your favorite restaurant patio to greet your city council representative or walking from the Farmers Market to the local coffee shop on a crisp Saturday morning, the people are what make Downtown the heart of our city.

Community + culture abound.

It’s seeing murals filling the streets and viewing local art in gallery spaces or seeing a performance of your favorite show on the weekend. There’s a little something for everyone, whether it’s finding that record you’ve been looking for or buying a treasure at one of our local shops.

Doing life with your friends + neighbors.

It’s spending your night off bowling at the local brewery, getting drinks with friends or stopping by the local plant store to snap a cute photo or purchase some live decor for your home. You can find all the essentials, with a local gym, grocery store and pharmacy all within a few blocks.
