Dear Jackson citizens,
I’m excited to announce the launch of the “Fix 36” program—an initiative aimed at making it easier for businesses to thrive in our city. As your Mayor, I understand the challenges business owners face in meeting site plan requirements. That’s why we’ve created “Fix 36” to provide more flexibility and support, allowing businesses to grow without being overwhelmed by immediate compliance demands.
The program offers business owners a 36-month window to complete improvements not directly tied to their principal building, like landscaping, lighting, and parking lots. This extended timeline ensures that businesses can focus on their operations while meeting site plan standards at a manageable pace.
Key elements of the program include a refundable $2,500 escrow deposit to show commitment, a full and clear site plan agreement for transparency, and regular reviews by the Community Development Department to provide ongoing support. All businesses must still meet building codes, ensuring safety while they complete improvements.
“Fix 36” is more than just a compliance initiative—it’s a reflection of our commitment to building a strong, vibrant business community. We believe this program will help our local businesses succeed, and in turn, strengthen Jackson’s economy.
If you’re a business owner or know someone who could benefit from this program, please reach out to my office or the Community Development Department for more information.
Together, we can build a better Jackson, one business at a time.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Mahoney
Mayor of Jackson
