It makes sense.

It won’t cost much, if anything.

Do it.

Last week, Mayor Paul Winfield and North Ward Alderman Michael Mayfield expressed hesitance about facilitating a move by three nonprofit agencies into the empty, city-owned Levee Street Depot.

Invoked was “not enough money,” a rubric used far and wide by governments of all sizes and shapes and at all levels. Be clear about this basic truth: There’s always money for projects politicians want to accomplish. There’s never enough to fund projects that politicians don’t favor for one reason or another, including projects that weren’t their ideas.

Vicksburg Main Street and the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau receive significant amounts of public money and have small office staffs. Both are in need of a home base. The depot suits their needs. The more money they can save on overhead, the more becomes available for their respective missions, which, by the way, include increasing tax revenue for the City of Vicksburg.

A third agency, not necessarily in search of a home, is the Vicksburg-Warren County Chamber of Commerce. If its staff, also small, could join the others at the depot, its overhead also could be reduced.

Former Mayor Laurence Leyens, who led the effort to invest about a million city dollars in buying and restoring the depot, concocted a plan under which the matching money for a transportation museum on the depot’s main level could be raised by moving the three nonprofits to the upper level. All three nonprofits like the idea. The city’s expense would be negligible, while its potential for gain would be enhanced.

Under the past administration, a long-blighted area — our front door to river travelers — was transformed in a way few could have imagined. A place thousands avoided is now visited by hundreds daily, soon to be thousands again when the Corps of Engineers interpretive center is completed.

Regardless of who came up with the idea, City Hall should embrace every continued step to add vitality at City Front.
