A PROJECT TO EXPAND A SHOPPING MALL IN RIDGELAND HAS BEEN GRANTED A FOUR-YEAR EXTENSION OF A SALES TAX REBATE BY THE MISSISSIPPI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY.
    
WITHOUT THE EXTENSION THE $96.8 MILLION EXPANSION OF THE RENAISSANCE AT COLONY PARK WOULD HAVE LOST NEARLY $30 MILLION IN REBATES, CHALLENGING ITS FEASIBILITY, ACCORDING TO THE MISSISSIPPI BUSINESS JOURNAL.
    
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED TO END THE REBATE PROGRAM IN 2014, BUT RENAISSANCE AT COLONY PARK LLC. GOT ITS APPLICATION APPROVED BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
    
STILL, THE REBATE HAS BEEN CONTROVERSIAL.NINE HOMEOWNERS MEANWHILE HAVE SUED THE CITY TO BLOCK THE DEVELOPMENT. HOMEOWNERS CONTEND THE EXPANSION WITH COSTCO WOULD CREATE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND DEVALUE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

JACKSON PASTORS SHARED THEIR THOUGHTS SUNDAY ON A NEW LAW ALLOWING GUNS IN CHURCHES.
GOV. PHIL BRYANT SIGNED THE BILL INTO LAW LAST WEEK.
IT'S A SAD DAY IN AMERICA WHEN WE EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TAKING A FIREARM TO CHURCH TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE THERE, SAID THE REV. OTIS MOORE, OF JACKSON FIRST CHURCH.
ONE PASTOR SAID HE WAS ALREADY PROTECTING HIS CONGREGATION.
WE ALREADY HAVE CERTIFIED OFFICERS AND PEOPLE HERE TO PROTECT US, SAID THE REV. DARRELL THICKPEN, OF NEW DIMENSIONS CHURCH.
REP. ANDY GIPSON, R-DISTRICT 77, SAID THE LAW WAS IN RESPONSE TO A CHURCH SHOOTING IN SOUTH CAROLINA THAT KILLED NINE PEOPLE.
MOORE AND THICKPEN SAID THEY SUPPORT THE NEW LAW.
THE LAW ALLOWS CERTAIN TRAINED MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH TO BE DESIGNATED TO CARRY GUNS AND PROTECT THE CONGREGATION IF THERE IS AN ATTACK.
