Jackson gets grant for tank City of Jackson officials have been notified that a grant in the amount of $160,000 has been made the City by the Economic Development Administration for water system improve ments. Included in the improve ments will be construction of a new 200,000 gallon elevated water storage tank, as well as removal of the old water tank located next to the City Jail. Engineering plans are being completed now for both of these projects and it is believed that work will begin on the new water storage facility by early fall. The present water tank is old, has a limited capacity and is not considered to be worthy of renovation. Both Mayor C. B. Brown, Jr. and members of the Jackson City Council were pleased at announcement of the grant award, one of only three being awarded cities in this area under current EDA guidelines.
