Annexation plans are still up in the air as city leaders debate on their next step in the lengthy process.
For the past several years, the Board of Mayor and Alderman have conducted surveys and studies concerning annexation for Yazoo City. Board members have been very vocal about pulling certain areas, many which are provided city services, into the city limits.
Now some board members have expressed frustration over the entire project.
Slaughter & Associates has been working with the city over the years with the annexation procedure.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
