Jackson High School The recent remodeling
and restoration of this great 1920's building has been the talk of Michigan "smart growth" advocates. This reinvestment proved to be - Cost effective and an efficient use of resources / infrastructure, maintains

a greater sense of community, preserves existing mixed land uses, will strengthen and direct other development toward
the existing community. Well Done!
