Construction soon to begin on The Columns 3

JACKSON, TN (WNBJ) - The ball will be rolling soon on construction on a new shopping plaza and business district in Jackson.

Markers have been placed on Vann Drive in preparation for construction to start on The Columns 3.

The Column 3 is expected to consist of 105 acres with an upscale apartment complex, a senior living facility, office space, retail shops, and much more.

The plaza will boost the economy and bring in several new jobs to the area.

“So from an economic perspective this is really going to drive Jackson hopefully, kind of help lift up and take advantage of some voids we have currently in our town. We look forward to working with the community and helping build a better Jackson,” said Gary Taylor, President of Gary A. Talyor Investment Company.

Many shoppers are excited about the new complex.

“Very excited, we could use a few more stores that are not available at the mall and through here so it will be good. It will be a nice contribution to the city of Jackson," said Sharon Koch, a shopper.

The Columns 3 will be a welcome addition to the commercial development in the city of Jackson.

Construction on The Columns 3 is expected to start in May.
