(August 16, 2023 10:28 AM ET) A new affordable apartment complex is one step closer to taking shape in Downtown Jackson.

Blackstone Street. The planned four-story development will feature up to 53 apartments, comprised of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units, with an early education center on the first floor.

Grass Lake Looks To Surprise People In 2023

By David Rice JTV Sports (August 16, 2023 8:00 AM ET) After finishing 2-7 two years ago (first losing record in 20 years), the Warriors bounced back to 5-5 and a playoff appearance last season, and they look to surprise even more people this year. The primary goal and focus for Grass Lake heading into the 2023 campaign is teach and learn, many roles to be filled this year. Head Coach Randy Cole is entering his 24th season at the helm, and 42nd total within the program. Cole has been one of the most successful coaches in the region since his time here, leading Grass Lake to winning records 22 of 24 seasons.  “Last year we won some big games but lost in the opening round. We can do better this year,” said the coach.  “We want to be the team to restore the tradition of winning Grass Lake football,” said star quarterback Brayden Lape. The Warriors return just four starters on both offense and defense and will rely heavily on this junior class.  Some returning starters include Brayden Lape (QB), Jack Reid (TE/LB), Robert Anderson (WR/CB), Liam Metheringham (RB/LB), Bryant Cook (WR/S), and linemen Stack Suliman/Quint Leland.

Jackson was also the location of several training camps for troops, including the 20th & 26th Infantry Regiments. Learn their stories and others during this educational presentation.  The Jackson County Michigan Historical Society was founded in 2020 as a not-for-profit, private educational organization dedicated to perpetuating Jackson County’s history.
