Streetlights that are out in downtown Jackson pose a dilemma about who owns them.
Does Entergy own the streetlights, or do they belong to the city of Jackson?
“At some point in its history, the city decided to do its own streetlights,” said Dallas Quinn, director of public affairs for Downtown Jackson Partners.
“You look back and nobody (with the city) was changing the bulbs or ballasts. Entergy would fix their lights and the city didn’t.”
