Voices
Rachel Plankenhorn of the Village Hide-A-Way
In 2019, the MSF board approved a Transformational Brownfield Plan to support a multi-site, mixed-use redevelopment of the historic Vicksburg Paper Mill. Place projects and redevelopment improvements enhanced the community Rachel Plankenhorn proudly serves and continued to create opportunities for local businesses like the Village Hide-A-Way to thrive.
Brownfield Programs
