Ward 7 Councilwoman Margaret Barrett-Simon's concerns about Farish Street zoning will have to wait to be heard.

Yesterday, the Jackson Free Press reported that the Jackson City Council, particularly Ward 7 Councilwoman Margaret Barrett-Simon, was worried that a zoning request for the Farish Street Entertainment District could open the area to unwanted commercial establishments, including used car lots. In yesterday's council planning and zoning meeting, Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. pulled discussion of the request from the agenda.

"I just felt that we needed to study this item a little more," Johnson told the Jackson Free Press.
