In the past three to five years, approximately $40 million has been invested in downtown Vicksburg, according to Vicksburg Main Street chairman Daryl Hollingsworth.
During a meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen Thursday to approve renewal of downtown’s taxing district, Hollingsworth connected that growth to the main street program, which the tax funds, by reminding the board of Vicksburg Main Street’s mission: “to encourage and promote the economic growth and welfare of the community through planning, beautification and preservation of our central business district, thus providing a competitive local and regional business area while serving our growing tourism industry.”
