The consideration of an amendment to the Major Road and Street Plan was approved by the Jackson Municipal Regional Planning Commission during its monthly meeting at Jackson City Hall, Wednesday.

The amendment will preserve the future extension from Vann Drive at North Highland Avenue to Old Medina Road and the development of Great American RV.

In September, 2021, the Jackson Planning Commission approved rezoning property at 2823 Old Medina Road – adjacent to northwest corner of Interstate 40 and Exit 83 – for Great American RV to construct a retail dealership.

With an investment of $10 million, the sales and service building will consist of approximately 43,000 square feet.

Great American RV will employ between 65 and 75 people at an average salary range of $65,000 to $75,000.

With corporate offices in Calera, Alabama, Great American RV has dealerships in Memphis, Breaux Bridge and Hammond, Louisiana; Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Grand Bay, Alabama and DeFuniak, Florida.
