For the last 100 years, the 21-acre site has been owned by the State of Mississippi and until 2000, was the home of the Mississippi School for the Blind (MSB). Once the MSB moved to a nearby facility, the site sat abandoned. In 2012, the property was acquired and plans for redevelopment initiated. The redevelopment vision for the $105 million project is for a 585,000 square-foot mixed use center that will include upscale office, retail and residential offerings. At this time a hotel, bank, restaurant, a movie theater, a main office building, and 190 residential lofts will form the project’s perimeter.
