Ground broken! We celebrated the beginning of another project in Fondren this morning. Arlington Properties is bringing a 234-unit apartment complex to west Fondren. We kicked off the project with officials representing Hinds County, City of Jackson - Government, and the developers. Thanks to everyone that came out. If you want to see evidence of Jackson Rising, just come on to Fondren!

A big thank you to Russ Nelson, Principal of Saint Richard Catholic School, for the tour of their great new campus in the heart of the Missions and Markets District in Fondren. Twenty one Fondren families send their children to the school. They are an important part of the fabric of our neighborhood. Cardinals, Fondren loves you!

FRF board member Jennifer Opager Baughn gets even MORE involved in Fondren. She will make Fountainhead a showcase! Thanks for all you do for Fondren, Jennifer!

We’re thrilled to welcome Jennifer Baughn as Fountainhead Curator. With more than 30 years of experience in historic preservation, she brings an incredible depth of knowledge about Mississippi’s built environment, and we can’t wait to see her lead the restoration and reimagining of one of the state’s most iconic works of Modern design.
