Flagpoles in Jackson

The state capital, and the seat of most of what Mississippi runs centrally: government offices, the state's only academic medical centre, three college campuses and the professional work that gathers around them. We cover Jackson and the Hinds County area, including the State Capitol and the Capitol Complex Improvement District, the Two Mississippi Museums, Farish Street, Belhaven and Belhaven Heights, Fondren, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson State University, Millsaps College, LeFleur's Bluff and the County Line Road corridor.

Wind here. Jackson sits in an inland central Mississippi area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. The figure at Jackson is about 115 mph, the same as most of the state, which leaves the ground to decide the job. Yazoo Clay does that. It is an expansive clay, meaning it swells through a wet spring and shrinks back in August, and it is why the streets and the water mains in this city never stay still. A footing goes through the surface soil into that clay and is designed for the movement, rather than augered to a standard depth and hoped over. The other Jackson question is paperwork. Publicly owned property designated a Mississippi Landmark needs a permit from the Department of Archives and History before work starts, which reaches a good deal of the Capitol Complex and the older campuses, and Belhaven, Belhaven Heights and Farish Street are locally designated on top of that, with the city's Historic Preservation Commission reviewing exterior work inside them.

Most of the people who call us from Jackson are state and county buildings, hospital and clinic campuses, university and school facilities, churches, veterans posts, law and insurance offices and downtown commercial frontage.
