There are interesting new developments in Jackson, Mississippi. The Watkins Partners are working with Historic Restoration Inc. of New Orleans to restore the King Edward (Edwards) Hotel as a mixed-use development. Their plans for the city are extensive and ambitious. Full details are available at the website, but must be downloaded....I had rather hoped to see the King Edward restored as a hotel, but anything is better than the wrecking ball at this point.
