Thompson	T000193	benniethompson.house.gov	benniethompson	https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases	scraper	(Washington D.C.) – Congressman Bennie Thompson announces the City of Jackson, Mississippi will receive $20,000,000 from the United States Department of Transportation Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability & Equity (RAISE) Grant Program to help rebuild Medgar Evers Boulevard. "These dollars can assist the City of Jackson in addressing their infrastructure needs. I look towards acquiring additional funds through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act." The Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity, or RAISE Discretionary Grant program, provides an opportunity for the U.S. Department of Transportation to invest in road, rail, transit, and port projects that promise to achieve national objectives. This project will reconstruct a 1.5-mile section of a former US Highway, into a multimodal, complete street from Medgar Evers Boulevard to the Woodrow Wilson Avenue/Five Points area on the south to Coleman Avenue and Ridgeway Street on the north, including cool pavement drive lanes, sidewalks, transit stops and amenities, a landscaped median, street trees, energy efficient streetlights, new water and sanitary lines, and sustainability drainage improvements.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:30:49Z
