A local preservation group has set the wheels in motion for another possible historical district within Yazoo City.
The Yazoo Historic Preservation Commission appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen this week with proposals for adding another historic district to the city. With two historic districts, the group is optimistic of the benefits that would come with tourism.
“The Development Authority suggested making another separate district,” said Kay Mills, with the commission. “The preservation commission is proposing an area that would be beneficial to historic preservation, particularly down Grand Avenue.”
Modern houses or those who do not wish to be included in the district can be carved out in future phases of the districting.

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.
