A top city economic-development official says retail is alive and well in Jackson.
Jason Goree, Jackson's economic development chief, tweeted this afternoon that a http://www.burkesoutlet.com/">Burke's Outlet store is coming to Jackson.

The city has struggled with attracting and retaining big-box retailers in recent years. Following the closure of Sam's Club, the Best Buy store on County Line Road announced this year that it would close. And after Jackson had been courting Costco, one of the nation's largest companies, that company is now in talks with the city of Ridgeland to build near the Renaissance.
