Active Living by Design In 2003, the city of Jackson was selected as one of 25 communities nationwide to receive funds from the Active Living by Design organization. Active Living by Design is a national program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is a part of the UNC School of Public Health in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This program helps fund innovative programs that increase physical activity through community design, public policies and communications strategies. The 25 communities, including Jackson, have been funded $200,000 over five years to develop a collaboration among a variety of organizations in the community ranging from public health to city planning to parks and recreation. The Jackson project, titled Project U-turn, will contribute information about how youth-lead programs can increase walking and biking trips.

Cool Cities
Project U-Turn was named as a contributing project in Jackson's Cool Cities effort. Project U-Turn's efforts to increase the walkability of the city will help create an environment that will attract both residents and businesses to the area.
