The Jackson Medical Mall Foundation has strong ties to the community and builds on that relationship with an extensive community outreach program. The basis for that relationship was established in the spring of 1997 with the first meeting of the Jackson Medical Mall Community Advisory Baord. This board is made up of representatives from the local neighborhood associations, area businesses, churches and schools. Community Advisory Board members continue to be successful in helping the Foundation target and pinpoint areas seeking growth and renewal. Community outreach projects spearheaded by the Foundation include funding to the CAB for neighborhood beautification projects, educational programs, crime prevention, and business development.
