Board of Mayor & Aldermen Extended Session Report

18 months to improve the property. “As I said, this opportunity is the results of months of work and negotiation between my administration and Delta Development and Great Southern.   I’d like to point out what this administration – our team – has done with the former Pemberton Square Mall.  We were able to help entice a reputable developer to invest his time and his money into this community and make some much needed improvements to the mall.”  The re-branded Vicksburg Mall has been the source of quite a bit of excitement in the business and consumer community.  “I hope this project will generate that kind of interest and will be a greatly successful venture for our newest corporate partners.” AUTHOR’S NOTE:  I usually try to avoid making editorial comments in a news article, but I can say that I share in the mayor’s hopes that this project succeeds.  The property, which was the first to be developed as a casino in Vicksburg, has been underperforming in recent years and could be much more successful if the operators took a much larger interest in maintaining and improving it.]]]]> ]]>
