Landslide Update
Although very serious and causing hardship for homeowners and businesses in the immediate area, the landslide is limited to the area on West Broadway between Sidewinders and Walgreens. For the past two weeks, noticeable land deterioration has occurred, causing the exposed face of a pre-existing land cut to further recede. This slide has damaged the Walgreens parking lot significantly, made one home inhabitable, and has endangered three others. Town officials and geological experts are working on creative solutions to help mitigate the landslide located near Walgreens at the corner of Scott Lane and Broadway. Please visit the Town of Jackson’s website for a live video stream and up to date information.
