I’m thankful for the support that @SenatorWicker has shown to our @MSMainStreet communities! Main Street is leading the local economic development movement in Mississippi!
The @MSMainStreet includes 53 communities across our state that work every day to keep our economy running. I introduced the Revitalizing Small and Local Businesses Act with @SenAlexPadilla to provide support to local economic development.
It is always a pleasure speaking to @medcinfo about the work we do at @MSMainStreet!
@MSMainStreet is the way to manage the inevitable change and revitalize downtown communities. Thank you, Thomas Gregory, for speaking at the #EconLeadersForum.

How can I get on the redesign commission? Asking for a self.
MORE: Mississippi's HC 79 creates a commission to redesign the state flag by by Sept. 14, and lets voters choose the final design in a special election on Nov. 3.
The resolution needs a two-thirds majority in the Senate before heading to Governor @tatereeves for his signature

The Mississippi Main Street Association believes that now is the time to come together as Mississippians to adopt a new state flag that we can all be proud to wave.

The legislature has been deadlocked for days as it considers a new state flag. The argument over the 1894 flag has become as divisive as the flag itself and it’s time to end it.
If they send me a bill this weekend, I will sign it.
Saturday, June 27, 2020. A great day to change the Mississippi state flag. Let’s do this. #TakeItDownMS #msleg – at Greenwood, MS

It makes me wonder what Farish Street would be like today if Jackson had put their money behind the time-tested Main Street Approach to community revitalization in 2002, instead of putting all their eggs in the entertainment district basket. 🤔 – at Starkville, MS
For four decades, there has been promised rebirth of what was once the central business district for Jackson’s African American community — Farish Street.
In those years, almost nothing has changed. mississippitoday.org/2019/12…
