<br />Analysis
<br />Comprehensive Plan
<br />Mississippi Connections represents the historical core of the city and corresponds to a redevelopment
<br />framework adopted by the City Council in November of 2012. This redevelopment framework
<br />established specific goals to strengthen the study area, which was broken up into five neighborhoods.
<br />These neighborhoods include the older residential and downtown commercial neighborhoods which are

<br />Connections Plan attempts to identify key strategic objects to reinvent the area as a destination for a
<br />variety of uses and activities.
