The Lefleur East Foundation has been doing some beautiful landscaping around the Northside and this is a great example. Beautiful, trees, grass and shrubbery along the side of I-55 and the frontage road.
From their website:
In 2012, five visionaries—H.C. Bailey, John C. Dinkins, William Latham, Leland Speed, and Robert N. Stockett—came together with a shared passion for preserving the charm, beauty, and potential of the LeFleur East neighborhood. Each brought a deep connection to Jackson and a belief that the area’s rich history, vibrant businesses, and engaged residents could create something greater than the sum of its parts.
Now, more than a decade later, the LeFleur East Foundation continues to honor that original vision. Guided by a board of committed community volunteers, the foundation represents a network of thriving businesses and twenty-two neighborhoods, each working together to improve the quality of life for residents and businesses—not just within LeFleur East, but throughout Jackson.
From neighborhood beautification projects to initiatives that support local businesses, LeFleur East stands as a testament to the power of community and collaboration. It is a place where history and progress meet—a neighborhood committed to growth while holding fast to the qualities that make it so special.
