The city of Jackson posted the following update about Thalia Mara Hall on its website yesterday:
The City of Jackson is currently awaiting additional proposals to ensure we get the best pricing and least disruptive timeline regarding Thalia Mara Hall. We will continue to publish updates every Thursday as additional developments are made.
- 9/23: Contractor site visits for proposal submissions
- 9/24: Contractor site visits for proposal submissions
- 9/25: Chiller connection and testing, Fire Alarm testing, Fire, Electrical, and Signage assessments performed as part of the Fire Marshal report response
- 9/25: Fire Marshal Response report submitted
Next Steps:
- Quote comparisons for remediation: The City of Jackson is still facilitating site visits to inform proposal submissions from additional vendors to ensure we get the best pricing and least disruptive timeline regarding remediation. More information on proposal submission will be forthcoming.
- Secondary testing results are expected this week.
- We are working in partnership with the State Fire Marshal’s office to correct findings and violations in their report, and many minor violations have already been remedied.
We still do not know when remediation will begin and have not yet received the completed proposals from the new parties. We also requested proposal revisions from the first company to address new findings by Mr. Al-Turk, a city-contracted engineer.
Kingfish note: Posted below is the city's remediation plan for the fire code violations. Although the State Fire Marshal found 22 violations on a recent inspection, most of the violations are minor and can be fixed within a couple of days.

Just like I have penned on here many times, Jackson will not return to its former greatness until after his hits bottom, rock bottom.
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to keep the building maintained and up to date?
Chillers are a fairly custom piece of HVAC equipment with long lead times - not really off the shelf stuff. It seems unlikely that a permanent replacement could have been obtained this quickly. Are they talking about a temporary chiller - a self-contained unit that would be placed outside the facility?
Another week of near-nothing ending with the proviso: We still do not know when remediation will begin .... LOL What I'd like to know is why hasn't Gumflapper established a community advisory board already to oversee this debacle of incompetence. LOL
The press release mentioning proposal revisions due to "new findings" by a licensed engineer? Apparently he found something which requires additional remediation. That seems interesting.
He couldn’t build a birdhouse without 100 pointless press releases, 6 months and 10 minority grift contracts.
Well-said, 1:29!
Palm grease must be exchanged before anything meaningful will occur. Think about it; if everything ran perfectly in the COJ, palm grease could not be extracted. It can occur only when there is an expenditure which will be paid to an outside vendor.
"least disruptive timeline..." Seems to me that if the auditorium is not open and usable timelines are rather irrelevant...
Haha, 1:29pm for the win!
I wouldnt go in that building full of people BECAUSE we all know they will just do whatever it takes to get the building open so Y.T. can see his shows. If a fire breaks out it is gonna be UGLY.
Hope the fine mayor is taking notes from the NY City mayor's current circumstances. But I do like the NYC mayor.
First they came for Kwame Kilpatrick, then they came for Blago.
Then they came for Epstein.
Recently it was Puffy and Mayor Adams.
Good thing they mayor is busy doing postive things!
"we are returning luster and beauty to the City of Jackson while fueling economic and workforce development. "
.
Jackson needs a new mayor. No more lawyers but a business man
Just means his friends haven't dotted all the eyes yet.
Foolish... its gotta stop
How long will it that Thalia Mara until it is another Hotel O?
Steal any revenue, make zero attempts at maintenance, cry racism when Tate wont replace the stolen funds, walk away if people when the leaders with a brain refuse to fund the gift, and watch the building rot.
Repeat for years and you get Jackson.
