Mayor Knox Ross
City works on first community center
With a $1.8 million makeover now under way, the buzz of saws and roar of other machinery radiate from Pelahatchie's downtown.
The town is remodeling its Town Hall and renovating an old hardware store into the town's first community center. Additionally, the town is redoing its sidewalks along U.S. 80, making them more pedestrian-friendly and brushing them up with some landscaping.
Pelahatchie is 1 of only a few communities in Mississippi certified by the National Weather service as a StormReady community.
StormReady communities are better
prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through better planning, education, and awareness.
No community is storm proof, but StormReady communities
can help save lives through proper planning and education. Rankin County’s StormReady status was recently recertified through 2010.
