Coverage by local news station WLBT Channel 3 of our efforts to address the departure of Dollar General from the Ida B. Wells Plaza, how the departure creates more food insecurity in our community and what Cooperation Jackson is planning on doing about it.
The coverage touches on our plans to create a cooperative grocery store at the plaza in partnership with Jackson Cash and Carry, and to create and aquaponic/hydroponic produce and fish producing operation at the plaza to create some food security in the community.
The next Ida B Wells Plaza and Community Land Trust Meeting will be Tuesday, March 24th at 6 pm at the Balagoon Center 939 W. Capitol Street, Jackson, MS.
