Blackburn Group and related companies have $100 million in real estate projects under development

By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

David Blackburn, 39, president/CEO, The Blackburn Group, LLC, Oxford, oversees quite an impressive array of developments for someone who is not yet 40. His company, which is the parent company of R.J. Allen & Associates, Inc., general contractors, Blackburn Communities, Fitness Holdings and other related development entities, is involved in some of Oxford’s largest residential, retail and mixed-use developments. Those include the Oxford Commons, the Oxford Square Townhomes and Highland Court.

But that is just the starting point. The company also has developments in Starkville and Southaven, and considerable activity outside of Blackburn the state. Currently, The Blackburn Group has more than $100 million in real estate projects under development in Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas. The company has made the Inc. 5000 list for fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for five consecutive years.

“Starting in 2002, we have grown to a total of more than 30 companies in the real estate development, general construction, property management, land mitigation, and fitness industries with $115 million in total annual revenue,” Blackburn said.

Blackburn considers his most significant professional accomplishment guiding their companies through the untimely death of his father-in-law and partner, Julian Allen, in 2012.

“Julian had provided the financial backing and the experience for us to start,” Blackburn said. “When he died unexpectedly in a plane crash, my world (and our company’s world) got turned upside down overnight. The national economy still had not recovered at this time, especially in real estate, which was our main focus. We had several banks and investors that had really invested in us due to Julian.”

Both Blackburn and Allen were guarantors on all of their debt, and they had no life insurance on Allen. Two days after his death, Blackburn formed an advisory

board that became a key group for him to communicate with over the next 12 months.

“I personally met with all of our banks within two weeks and communicated to our investors immediately our plan going forward,” he said. “I also met with all of our employees and communicated with them our plan moving forward.

The banks, investors, and employees all bought into the plan and allowed us to not only stabilize, but grow exponentially over the next five years. That continues today as our growth rate for the past three years is 58 percent.”

He attributes their success to great employees.

“You don’t do something like this yourself,” Blackburn said. “It’s the people. It takes a big team of people who are dedicated and love what they do. We also have been able to provide great professional growth opportunities for our employees with all of our management staff starting in non-managerial roles and being able to promote from within through training and staff development.”

In addition to his strengths in team building, Blackburn is also known for excelling in identifying new business and development opportunities.

Back in 2006 Blackburn and Allen wanted to get more dedicated to the real estate development side of their business, but felt Oxford where they lived was overbuilt. They had a small plane with the ability to fly 500 miles without refueling. Austin, Texas, was right at 450 miles, and was attractive due to being the state capital, a technology hub and a university town.

“People are looking for more than a place to live,” Blackburn said. “University towns like Austin, Starkville and Oxford offer great cultural opportunities.”

Another point in pride is being the kind of business where people are proud to work. Blackburn Group has been named Mississippi Best Places to Work by the Mississippi Business Journal 2016 and 2017 and Austin Best Places to Work

by Austin Business Journal in 2017.

“We are obviously working hard, but we are also providing a great place to work where people really enjoy what they are doing,” he said. “There has to be something that inspires you when you come to work every day. We have been real fortu-

nate in having that kind of culture.”

Making customers happy is important at Blackburn. It has been able to maintain a high customer satisfaction rating with their single-family home division being recognized for the Guildmaster Award

by GuildQuality, which represents more than 90 percent homeowner customer satisfaction and referral rate.

Blackburn said their relationship with Dollar General has allowed them to grow their repeat business with clients on the general construction and development side.

“Dollar General has been a great company to work with that was willing to take a chance on a small, young developer,” Blackburn said. “They have really helped us grow our commercial side. They provide such a great product for rural towns, so it is a great team to be a part of.”

The Blackburn Group belongs to chambers of commerce in all 10 communities where they have ongoing business operations, and support philanthropic causes. For example, they recently created a trail of more than three miles through the conservation areas in their Oxford Commons development and made it available to the Oxford High School cross country teams to use for training and meets.

Blackburn, a graduate of the Ole Miss with both bachelor and master’s degrees in accountancy, is on the boards of the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation and the Ole Miss Alumni Association. He has also been on the board of directors for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Ole Miss. While a student athlete himself at Ole Miss, Blackburn was a member of 1997 and 1999 SEC Championship tennis teams.

Blackburn is active with St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

Blackburn and his wife, Karen, have been married since 2002.

“I could not have accomplished any of our many projects without the love and support of my wife, Karen,” Blackburn said. “She has brought balance to my life and has been a great advisor who looks at things from a totally different perspective than I do. We have two sons, Collins and Niles, who have brought happiness and purpose to our lives.”

His favorite hobby is snow skiing, and he also enjoys hunting and travel.

MEDICAL BOARD PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIRING OF DIRECTOR

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com Dr. Charles Miles, president of the Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure, issued a statement Monday defending the board’s selection of an executive director whose medical background includes malpractice lawsuits.

Dr. Kenneth E. Cleveland was sued 12 times in Hinds County Circuit Court in a 10-year period.

Settlements were reached in some and others were dismissed outright.

Miles said in the release on Monday that the “negativity surrounding” the selection of Cleveland centers on the publicity on the lawsuits, which were first reported by The Clarion-Ledger.

“It is not within the purview of [the board] to determine the outcome of a civil lawsuit,”Miles stated.

“What would fall under the board’s purview is if the circumstances surrounding a lawsuit resulted in a complaint being filed with [the board] against a physician or other licensee. In the case of the new executive director, that did not happen.”

The court actions were brought between 2002 and 2012 because of alleged malpractice, including a wrongful death lawsuit in 2011. He performed bariatric, or weight-loss surgeries as well as general surgery.

Dr. John Hall, whose contract as executive director was not renewed last year, said in a telephone interview on Monday, that “12 lawsuits in 10 years strikes me as an extraordinary number.

Not just a large number.”

Some of the other 12 candidates also were targets of lawsuits as well, Miles said. “That’s part of the price you pay for practicing medicine in this litigious society,” he said.

Christina Shiffer, director of communications for the American Board of Surgery, said in an interview with the Mississippi Business Journal. ”Surgeons get sued a lot,” Shiffer said. “We would be notified if any action was taken against his license.”

The Federation of State Medical Boards has a website, docinfo.org, that lists any such actions.

The Mississippi Licensure Board’s website is being revamped and made more user friendly, and free. Consumer Reports ranked it 65th among all such sites in 2016 and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ranked Mississippi 51st among all states and the District of Columbia in patient protection from abusive physicians.

The Clarion-Ledger quoted an unnamed attorney as saying Cleveland stopped his surgical See MEDICAL BOARD, Page 9

Trustmark unveils plans for new location in historic Fondren District Trustmark National Bank has unveiled plans on Wednesday for its newest location at a ceremonial groundbreaking in the historic Fondren district of Jackson. The new location, known as Trustmark Fondren and located at the corner of Old Canton Road and Duling Avenue, is scheduled to open in 2019. Local community leaders and business owners, as well as the architectural designers, construction managers and Trustmark executive officers all took part in the event and helped turn the first ceremonial shovels of dirt to kick-off the building project.

“Today’s groundbreaking represents Trustmark’s continued commitment to our customers, the Fondren community and the city of Jackson,” stated Trustmark CEO Jerry Host. “Since we opened our North Jackson branch right across the street in the Morgan Center in 1950, Trustmark has been steadfast in our support of helping this community grow and prosper. Our new Trustmark Fondren office will stand as a testament to that partnership, and we look forward to serving our customers, neighbors and businesses in Fondren for years to come.”

Cooke Douglass Farr Lemons Architects & Engineers, who designed the two-story

building and will occupy the second floor once completed, took special care to ensure the building would blend seamlessly into the architectural fabric of its historic surroundings.

“Set back from the street, the new building will frame the Duling School and establish a new iconic marker for the eastern edge of the corridor,” explained Cooke Douglass Farr Lemons Architects & Engineers Principal Rob Farr. “Drawing on the massing of the nearby Duling School, the rhythm in the openings and attention to detail in the building’s masonry is one way the building will pay homage to its neighbors. The use of punched windows also echoes the look of the Duling School and Fondren Church, helping the building fit within the context of other nearby buildings’ fabric.”

Farr went on to say that the repetitive form on the Old Canton Road side of the branch complements the architecture of Fondren Presbyterian Church. Multiple mass buildings are a concept seen throughout many of the neighborhood’s beloved buildings such as FondrenCorner. The tripartite-inspired entrance of Trustmark’s Fondren branch is similar to that of Fondren Church and helps ad-

dress the corner and bring all of the massing together. The drive-through portion will be part of the building and not an attachment.

The primary entrance will be easily visible from the plaza area and the building’s overhang onto the pedestrian space is created by the architecture itself. The elevated balcony will provide a special addition to the building and a gathering spot for future community events.

“Trustmark has been a true community partner in Fondren since opening the doors of its first branch here in the Morgan Center, which is now known as Woodland Hills Plaza,” stated Jim Wilkirson, Executive Director of the Fondren Renaissance Foundation.

“Their new location on the corner of Old Canton Road and Duling will be a cornerstone for this community, one in which we can truly all be proud.”

Part of the recent history of the lot where the new Trustmark Fondren will be built in-

cluded a Leland Cypress tree that has been lit as part of the community’s Christmas celebration since 2007. To further the legacy of the tree, which experts say is diseased and will have to be removed, Trustmark has commissioned Mississippi wood craftsman Fletcher Cox to create a piece of art from the tree to display inside the branch. Additionally, during the ceremony, Trustmark gave three Leland Cypress trees to the Fondren Renaissance Foundation to plant throughout Fondren as a symbol of partnership and expansion.

Trustmark Fondren, which will be built by Yates Construction, will offer comprehensive consumer and commercial financial services, including retail and private banking, as well as wealth management, mortgage services and commercial lending.

TOURISM

Chawlas apply for $6 million rebate on luxury hotel in Cleveland

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Brothers Suresh and Dinesh Chawla have applied for a tax rebate from the state that would account for nearly a third of the $20 million luxury hotel they are building in Cleveland.

The brothers, who own 17 hotels in the Delta, applied for the tourism rebate on Dec. 28 to defray costs on the Scion West End that will be managed, but not owned, by the Trump Organization as the first hotel in its new upscale Scion chain.

The brothers likewise will convert three of their existing hotels under the Trump brand called American Idea.

State law, 57-6-1 et seq, requires a minimum private investment of $15 million, and a per-guestroom investment of $150,000 to qualify for the rebate in Bolivar County, where Cleveland is located, and Lauderdale County, whose main city is Meridian.

The that per-room investment otherwise is $200,000, according to the law.

The Chawlas found out about the locality-specific language in the law “by accident,” Dinesh Chawla said in a Tuesday interview. Efforts to determine exactly how the language was included were unsuccessful as of time of publication.

The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Center, or MAX, which will open to the public on April 29, is cited in the law as the reason for the special tweak in the legislation, just as the Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland qualifies Bolivar County for it.

Mark Tullos, executive director of the MAX, said that “there are a lot of moving parts” in Meridian because of the $50 million project.

That activity includes the reclamation of the historic Threefoot Building by Ascent Hospitality Management of Coral Gables, Fla., which resurrecting the 16-story, art deco structure as a Marriott Courtyard property in a $22 million project. Efforts to reach the developer were not successful.

The Scion in Cleveland meets the minimum private investment of $15 million required by the state law.

The Chawlas were already thinking bigger after announcing a $8 million hotel on March 5, 2016, the day the Grammy museum opened, he said.

Suresh met Trump in Jackson several months later while the presidential candidate was on a campaign swing, Dinesh said. Gov. Phil Bryant arranged the meeting after he learned of an article in the Mississippi Business Journal about the Chawla brothers’ father being encouraged

by Trump in 1988 when the immigrant was

attemping to open a hotel in Greenwood.

Suresh said Trump told him and his brother to “think grand.”

Trump wasn’t “shifting our paradigm so much as validating what were doing on our own,” Dinesh said.

Regardless, the estimated cost of the Lyric Hotel and Spa project grew to about $15 million during the period when the project was “very fluid,” Dinesh said.

The brothers announced along with

Trump sons Donald Jr. and Eric in New York City last June that Chawla Pointe LLC would be the first Scion property in the new chain.

The Chawla brothers also said they had agreed to be the first properties under the Trump organization’s American Idea flag by converting three of the Chawla’s existing hotels.

The Scion plan grew to $20 million.

The complex on 17.5 acres will have the hotel with approximately 100 rooms, See HOTEL, Page 9

Flags — What exactly do they mean?

W

ith the Winter Olympics in full swing most of us are seeing a lot a flags. Some are really beautiful, and some are really ugly. So what makes a great flag?

The answer to that question can be found in a great little booklet compiled by Ted Kaye and published by the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA). Here are the five basic principles to create an outstanding flag for your organization, city, tribe, company, family, neighborhood or even country: 1. Keep It Simple – the flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory; 2. Use Meaningful Symbolism – the flag’s images, colors or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes; 3. Use Two or Three Basic Colors – Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which will contrast well and come from the standard color set; 4. No Lettering or Seals – Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal; and 5. Be Distinctive or Be Related – Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.

It may surprise some people, but quite a few cities in Mississippi have a flag. A first-time

visitor to the annual conference of the Mississippi Municipal Association will see an opening ceremony featuring a parade of over two dozen flags. Jim McIntyre, owner of A Complete Flag Source in Jackson, Mississippi, says that a flag is a symbol of pride. He advocates more use of city flags by communities around the state, especially at entrances to cities and at every public building.

Under Mayor Kane Ditto’s administration, the city of Jackson went through a flag creation process featuring substantial community input and involvement. People submitted ideas and designs and a flag was adopted. It has a green background and features single vertical and horizontal white lines with a gold star in a blue circle at the intersection of the lines. The lines represent Jackson’s location at a major national crossroads, while the star symbolizes the city’s designation as the capital of the state. The flag was certainly successful from a design standpoint. It impressed the members of NAVA so much that in its 2004 American City Flags Survey Jackson’s flag placed 12th out of 150 flags. According to NAVA Web site, NAVA members preferred simple, brightly-colored, and distinctive flags; they scorned flags with complicated designs,

city seals, or writing.

Symbolism is important to flag design. The booklet referred to above provides plenty of examPhil Hardwick ples of proper and improper use of symbolism. Take Italy’s flag, for example. It has three vertical stripes – one green, one white and one red. The vertical orientation is just the opposite of many European flags, which have their stripes displayed horizontally. Italy’s flag design symbolizes a challenge to the ruling kingdoms of Europe.

On the other end of the symbolism scale, Libya’s flag is solid green to symbolize Islam. It is so simple, according to Ted Kaye of NAVA, that it does not represent a country, and when shown in black and white it had no meaning.

One of the things to avoid in flag design is the use of writing or seals. South Dakota’s flag, which uses a seal and writing, is the example of a bad flag. The name of the state actually appears twice on the flag. South Carolina’s flag, which depicts a white crescent and a palmetto on a field of blue, is used to illustrate a good flag having no lettering or seals.

Continued from Page 6

I cannot resist pointing out the Virginia state flag. The flag of the state that is “for lovers” has a woman warrior, with one breast exposed, standing with one foot on the on the shoulder of a male fallen warrior. The flag is on a field of dark blue and contains the seal of Virginia with the Latin motto “Sic Semper Tyrannis” – “Thus Always to Tyrants”. The two figures are acting out the meaning of the motto. Both are dressed as warriors. The woman, Virtue, represents Virginia. The man holding a scourge and chain shows that he is a tyrant. His fallen crown is nearby. It was adopted in 1776.

Meanwhile, back at the Olympics, the flags will be flying with pride. But there might be some confusion if only flags are used to identify countries. Indonesia’s red and white flag is exactly the same as Monaco’s, even though there is no connection between the two countries. Turn that flag upside down and it is the same as the flag of Poland.

Finally, the flag of the United States of America is not only rich with symbolism in its design, it is one of the few – perhaps the only – flags in which the flag itself is the subject of the national anthem of the country. So here’s to the Star Spangled Banner… and the U.S. Olympic Team. » Phil Hardwick is a regular Mississippi Business Journal columnist and owner of Hardwick & Associates, LLC, which provides strategic planning facilitation and leadership training services.

»REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

‘The Post’ is a retelling of history to shape present

W

hat’s the “back story” on the recent release of “The Post,” what amounts to a prequel of “All the President’s Men”?

Good question.

A newsroom has always been a stage that lends itself to dramatization.

“The President’s Men,” released in 1976, is still a terrific movie, with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman playing Woodward and Bernstein in their landmark Watergate investigative reporting that brought down the Nixon White House.

“Spotlight,” which won the Best Picture Oscar in 2016 for its portrayal of The Boston Globe’s work exposing the institutionalized sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests.

But “The Post” is a story more about publisher Katharine Graham and her professional relationship with Executive Editor Ben Bradlee.

Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, two of America’s biggest stars, are cast in those roles.

Which raises the question: who plays Nixon? Well, no one.

He doesn’t merit a role.

But the focus is on someone who does not appear in the movie – couldn’t have appeared as a character because this was the early ‘70s.

Donald Trump’s presidency wasn’t even a gleam in the eye of the budding real estate magnate in his early 20s.

But for the current overheated generation this is Nixonas-Trump. Or Trump-as-Nixon.

A sort of roman a clef, Hollywood style.

Director Steven Spielberg said he jumped at the chance to make the movie because he wanted to say something about Trump, who has nothing good to say about the news media, except for Fox. Get it?

Streep may have had a personal interest. After all, Trump, in one of his incessant tweets, said she was an overrated actress, after she had criticized him.

The result is an attempt at reshaping history, with an eye to affecting present and future perceptions of reality.

And the rush to judgment – as any good newspaperman knows – leads to mistakes and, often, collateral damage.

New York Times alumni from the Pentagon Papers era voiced scathing criticism of the movie’s concept, which focuses on the paper that followed the Times’ lead on the story about the leaking of Department of Defense papers showing that the government was lying to the citizenry about how the Vietnam war was faring.

The Washington Post came into its own soon thereafter when Woodward and Bernstein broke their own huge story, Watergate, which spawned a whole generation of aspiring journalists (this writer included).

Interestingly, Graham did not even merit a role in “All the President’s Men.” But in “The Post” she is the reluctant publisher who is

Jack Weatherly

goaded by Bradlee to act her role and back her news organization.

Katharine Graham’s husband, Phil, had been publisher (he married the owner’s daughter) until his death in August 1963, three months before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

To the movie’s credit, there is a scene in which Katharine, confronts Ben about his younger days as a reporter when he crossed the line of objectivity in his coverage of Kennedy, a close friend with plenty to hide.

Historical authenticity scores some points in small ways.

The tabletop television sets in the newsroom are turned off after “breaking news” interrupts regular programing in the days before 24-hour cable TV coverage and eons before personal computers and cell phones, much less smart phones and social media. Smoking was everywhere and incessant.

And type was set in lead on linotype machines.

Yes, technology and society have changed remarkably from the time in which this movie is set.

But some things have not. And never should. Like getting the facts and getting the story and getting it right. Those are standards that should never change.

Anyone who says otherwise is just making up stuff. » Contact Mississippi Business Journal staff writer Jack Weatherly at jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com or (601) 364-1016.

The application with the Mississippi Development Authority shows a maximum rebate of slightly more than $6 million. It shows that the Chawlas are putting in $8.4 million in cash, using a $15.6 million bank loan, and will employ at 70 full-time and 80 part-time workers within two years of completion. The payroll by the second year would be $1.7 million, according to the application.

To get the full rebate, the Chawlas will have to generate revenue of between $90 million and

$100 million over 15 years.

The economic impact on Bolivar County will be between $300 million and $400 million, Dinesh Chawla said.

President Trump has come under scrutiny by some news organizations, including The New York Times, which last week reported that the president might be running afoul of what are called emoluments, or favors.

One case was dismissed in a federal district court and another federal judge said he might hear a similar case.

Trump has put his far-flung real estate empire into a trust, which is run by his sons.

Whether or not the president is benefiting indirectly through business deals in which state and local government is “a matter of opinion,” which is in the hands of the courts, possibly even the U.S. Supreme Court, Dinesh Chawla said.

The Chawlas are “injecting about $15 million of our own money into this project,” Dinesh said. “We could be buying Amazon stock. We’re not only investing in Mississippi, we’re investing in the poorest part.”

He founded and managed and was primary physician of Remedy True Health, which describes itself as “a medical spa specializing in weight loss, aesthetics and anti-aging services.” The clinic does not perform surgery.

Miles said that Cleveland is in the process of shutting down the clinic and will assume his new duties with the board on March 1.

Cleveland’s salary has not been set, Miles said. The board presented to the appropriations committee of the Legislature a request for $137,500 for the position, but the duties that go with it are being separated into two positions, an executive director and a business manager.

He said that the board is negotiating with the committee to increase the pay for the executive director, but that he doesn’t believe the total for both jobs will exceed the $250,000

Hall was paid.

Hall took an aggressive approach to enforcement of regulations on physician-patient relationships, even to the point of supporting legislation that would make sexual relations between doctors and patients a felony.

The legislation died. It was not well-received by the board.

Hall said in an email he sent to The Clarion-Ledger that “the board has a deep, irremediable conflict of interest that arise[s] directly from its structure. By statute, the board members are nominated by the [Mississippi Medical Association] and appointed by the governor.”

“This leads to the disciplinary body being controlled by the same ‘trade guild’ it’s supposed to regulate. . . . This is fundamentally a legislative problem.”

Hall, who holds medical and law degrees as well as a master of business administration degree, is working for not-for-profit Dallas-based hospital chain in a financial position.

THE SPIN CYCLE

Winter Olympics brands pay top dollar for sponsorships T

he 2018 Winter Olympics aren’t just a showcase for the world’s top athletes.

Some of the world’s largest brands paid millions to promote its products on a global stage in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The International Olympic Committee has top-level sponsorship deals in place with 13 corporations. Each “Worldwide Olympic Partner” pays roughly $100 million per four-year Olympic cycle, according to Reuters, though some estimates place the average cost even higher. Some sponsors pay more than others.

In exchange, sponsors receive top billing and the chance to showcase their services to spectators on the ground at Olympic events and on television, where broadcasts drew an average of more than 21 million viewers in primetime during the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

For example, Intel, which signed a sponsorship deal with the IOC in 2017, said it would provide 5G wireless technology, drones, artificial intelligence platforms and other gear for use during Olympic events this year.

Timo Lumme, managing director of the IOC’s Television and Marketing Services, told Reuters last year that presence of a record 13 top-line Olympic sponsors was proof that companies receive “tangible returns” for their multimillion-dollar investments.

The 13 top sponsors of the 2018 Winter Olympics are Coca-Cola, Alibaba Group, Atos, Bridgestone, Dow, General Electric, Intel, Omega, Panasonic, Procter & Gamble, Samsung, Toyota and Visa. Lower-tier sponsors of this year’s games include The North Face, Hyundai and LG. The IOC isn’t the only beneficiary from the swarm of companies aiming to advertise during the Olympics. NBC executive Dan Lovinger said the network expects ad sales to surpass the final tally from the 2014 games, when the total advertising haul topped $800 million.

3 Big Trends From This Year’s Super Bowl Three compelling trends emerged from this year’s crop of Super Bowl ads, according to Adweek.

1. Multiple spots Given the price tag attached to Super

Bowl ads, the decision to pony up more than $5 million for 30-seconds of your attention might seem surprising but several brands were willing to do so. Tide, Budweiser, Michelob Ultra, Toyota and Jeep were some of the brands that released multiple ads during the game.

2. Humor Amazon, NFL, Tourism Australia, Bud Light and the Mountain Dew versus Doritos lip-sync battle were all among the brands that aimed to make people laugh during the Super Bowl.

3. Altruistic ads T-Mobile, Verizon and Budweiser used the Super Bowl to make a statement about a larger issue: equality, water or disaster relief efforts.

Socially Conscious Brands Appeal to Consumers Social media management company Sprout Social has released its “Championing Change in the Age of Social Media” report.

It surveyed over 1,000 people in the U.S. to discover how they wanted brands to communicate their positions, and engage in conversations on political and social issues.

The report finds two-thirds of consumers say that it is important for brands to take public stands on social and political issues like immigration, civil rights and race relations. Over half are happy for this to happen across social media channels.

It uncovered that a third more liberals (78 percent) want brands to voice their company’s stances on socio-political issues than do conservatives (52 percent) – no matter where their interests fall.

Brands’ voices appear most credible when an issue directly impacts their customers (47 percent), employees (40 percent), or business operations (31 percent) according to the report.

Consumers’ most common emotional reactions to brands taking a stand on social issues tended to be positive. The report showed that people will spread the word when they agree, but will not take action when they disagree with the stand.

If consumers’ personal beliefs align with what brands are saying, 28 percent will publicly praise a company. However, when

individuals disagree with a brand’s stance, only 20 percent will publicly criticize the company.

Brands can’t change minds of consumers – but they can effect change. Two-thirds (66 percent) of respondents say posts from brands rarely, or never influence their opinions on social issues.

Respondents believe that brands are more effective on social media when they announce donations to specific causes (39 percent), and encourage followers to take specific steps to support causes (37 percent), such as participating in events or making their own donations.

Interestingly, 78 percent of respondents who self-identify as liberal want brands to take a stand, while about half (52 percent) of respondents who self-identify as conservative feel the same way.

Golden Mic | Olympics Is the Great Unifier The Winter Olympics got underway in Pyeongchang, and snowboarder Red Gerard became the first American to win gold. The 17-year-old, who took the top spot in the men’s slopestyle contest, is the youngest Olympic snowboarding gold medalist ever.

Compatriot Jamie Anderson defended her title in the women’s snowboard slopestyle event, overcoming blustery conditions to give the U.S. its second gold medal.

North Korea’s surprise invitation to South Korea for a summit in Pyongyang

was the big political news of the weekend.

The development came hours after delegations from the two Koreas marched into the Opening Ceremony together under a uniTodd Smith fied flag. For its historic Olympic debut, the unified Korean women’s ice-hockey team lost 8-0 to Switzerland before a loud and partisan crowd.

Perhaps no other world gathering – or sport – is as unifying as the Olympic games. For a moment, the world, conflicting nations and desperate cultures came together in unity to compete in peace. This is a true Golden Mic moment!

Each week, The Spin Cycle will bestow a Golden Mic Award to the person, group or company in the court of public opinion that best exemplifies the tenets of solid PR, marketing and advertising – and those who don’t. Stay tuned – and step-up to the mic! And remember … Amplify Your Brand!

Smith Park: ‘We just felt like » Phase II of the three-phase park project is wrapping up with hopes of increasing its potential

By JULIA MILLER mbj@msbusiness.com

I

n the heart of downtown Jackson, Smith Park is getting a much-needed refresh after recent efforts to revitalize the historic area.

“For 10 to 15 years, or even longer it’s been tired and has needed a major renovation,” said John

Gomez, associate director at Jackson Downtown Partners.

“We just felt like we had to do something.”

For the past four years, a group of individuals, led

by Downtown Partners, has joined with the city to see the park restored to its original 19th century design with a flat, open space concept. The last renovation the park saw was in 1973 when it underwent a renovation that brought in a lot of concrete, flowers, and mounds to mimic meandering through a forest.

“The City of Jackson is excited to partner with Downtown Jackson Partners in the restoration of Smith Park,” said Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.

“This project is symbolic of the renaissance

occurring in Downtown Jackson. When completed, Smith Park will be a world-class green space for all of Jackson and the state to enjoy.”

“This renovaton could bring a new attitude to this part of downdown,” said Tami Jones, associate publisher of the Mississippi Business Journal, which has a fourth-floor office overlooking Smith Park.

“Perhaps this more attractive view and safer atmosphere will be more appealing to other businesses.”

Major efforts began in the fall of 2016 with the removal of old and dying trees. At the end of 2017, phase two began, which focused on removing excess concrete, the elimination of unsightly berms and the re-sodding of grass to create a more open and level green space for visitors to use in a safe and inviting

e we had to do something’ environment. Gomez said the work is done, but they are asking visitors to remain off the grass for the moment to ensure the resodding holds.

With the first two phases complete, the Friends have turned their attention to Phase III. The current plans include adding landscaped walkways, a modern stage near Amite Street to accommodate concerts and other entertainment, and a water pad and playground for children.

“Smith Park is testament to what can happen when a city and its residents come together during a period of financial hardship to improve the quality of life for the entire state,” said Ben Allen, president of Downtown Jackson Partners.

The price tag for the three-phase project clocks in

at $2.5-million. So far, phases one and two have been funded by Jackson Downtown Partners.

“It was park that wasn’t being used to its potential,” Gomez said.

With its proximity to the Governor’s mansion as well as the two new museums, Gomez said the area attracts a lot of visitors and school children. In addition, the area has seen many building facelifts and an influx of new businesses. Areas like Smith Park can provide the perfect location for a picnic lunch or even a midday stroll to unwind.

“We felt like this was a project we could team up with the city on,” he said. “We want people to be able to enjoy a nice park whether they are in downtown for business or leisure time.”

Smith Park is one of the oldest continuously used city parks in America. It is the only surviving undeveloped square from the original 1822 plan for Mississippi’s then new capital.

Named for James Smith Jr., a colorful 19th century Scottish merchant and Jackson transplant who donated funds to improve the park in 1884, the green space is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

“Mississippi gave this land to the City of Jackson in 1838 for the express purpose of being enjoyed as a park, and this project will ensure that those plans remain for future generations,” said Michael Rejebian, president of Jackson’s Downtown Neighborhood Association.

Realtor group has reason to cheer » Executive Commitee president says overall the state is seeing a rise in real estate sales Key image courtesy of pixabay.com / Glass photo courtesy of Gib Ford/Gib Ford Photography

M

ississippi realtors have a cheerleader — Karen Glass, the president of the executive committee of Mississippi Realtors.

“Realtors need cheerleaders,” Glass said. “We are often taken for granted and only thought of when someone needs to buy or sell property.

I want it known that we are great community champions and many of us serve in leadership roles at the city, state and national levels. Every economic development committee or business needs a realtor to sit on their board or committee. Our jobs are demanding yet most of us work way beyond normal workday hours volunteering for community organizations or helping at our schools or churches.”

“I personally think Realtors are unsung heroes,” Glass continued before remarking that maybe she is the cheerleader for them after all.

Their hard work may be showing because Glass reports a gradual increase overall with real estate sales in Mississippi.

Although these sales vary greatly among communities, Glass points out the smaller towns in are gaining attention.

“Olive Branch is a good example of a growing

small town,” Glass said. “The population has grown from 3,567 in 1990 to 37,500 today, according to a recent Time analysis. The town has proven to be very attractive to families due to the good schools and family-friendly activities. Plus the projected job growth there Glass is 11.67 percent according to this same survey.”

Both retirees and millennials are helping small towns grow all over Mississippi.

“Many retirees prefer the more laidback lifestyle of a small town and it appears some millennials are also choosing to live a quieter life away from the big cities,” Glass said. “Housing in college towns can be in great demand, and students don’t always have the funds to afford it. Smaller locations surrounding the college town can present attractive options where you might find something that is perfect size at a much better price, making the longer commute worthwhile.”

She mentions that several beach towns in Mississippi are recognized by SmartAsset in a list of the “Most Affordable Beach Towns in America,” with Gulfport ranking first. The other towns were Biloxi (third), Bay St. Louis (fifth) and Ocean Springs (sixth). The rankings

were calculated on median home values, number of rooms, property taxes and monthly housing costs.

“So, Mississippi is definitely being noticed outside of our state and region for all that we have to offer,” Glass said.

With these trends and national attention, Glass is optimistic about the future of real estate while she and her organization work to support those who buy real estate, especially first-time purchasers.

Last year, her organization supported the passage of the First Time Homeowners Savings Account Act which helps first-time homeowners start a tax-free savings account to help with closing costs and down payment.

“We are only the fourth state to succeed in getting this law passed and it provides a great incentive to homebuyers in our land. The passage of this Act shows that Mississippi believes strongly that homeowners are essential to establishing and maintain solid cities and towns,” said Glass.

She maintains that nothing is better for Mississippi’s real estate than a healthy economy and job markets, which is why their Realtors work with legislators, public officials and economic See GLASS, Page 17

development teams in promoting the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Our) Realtors are great advocates for our state and actively promote the move of new businesses and industries to our area,â&#x20AC;? Glass said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mississippi cities and towns offer great commercial and industrial building spaces, as well as a full variety of residential options. Our challenge is to make sure the public knows thatâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

As the new leader of the executive committee, Glass is raising the bar on Mississippi Realtors this year to â&#x20AC;&#x153;elevate their knowledge and abilities, as well as to evaluate what we can do to better assist the public in making wise choices in meeting their commercial and residential property needs.â&#x20AC;?

Glass knows that education is paramount so this year she and the committee stripped down the Mississippi Realtors Institute to rebuild with new instructors and courses.

This school offers classes from pre-licensing to post-licensing as well as continuing education covering any topics affecting real estate practitioners. The institution has over 25 instructors who are experienced practioners who can provide guidance to real estate agents and brokers across Mississippi.

Glass says she will spend her year encouraging every realtor to take advantage of this higher education.

She will also encourage Realtors to ďŹ nd more involvement in communities, especially to better evaluate property values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has often been said that if you want to know something about a place to live and work, you should ask a realtor,â&#x20AC;? Glass said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that is absolutely true. We spend our days driving through neighborhoods and walking acreage to help buyers ďŹ nd what they need. We know about school systems and churches and governmental office locations.â&#x20AC;?

True to her cheerleading pep, Glass added that she will also spend her year working to make sure the public knows that they can turn to realtors if they need any information about their communities.

AN MBJ FOCUS: CONSTRUCTION

Waiting for a table?

Special to thye MBJ

A proposed site for the Half Shell Oyster House has sat idle foir months in Madison. Construction delays for new business an range from approval of plans to availibility of builders.

Many factors cause construction delays » Often, it can take a long time from announcement to that grand opening

By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

S

ometimes it can take a very long time after plans for a new business are announced before it opens its doors. Why does it take so long for a new business to get out of the ground? In fact, it is a complex process involving many different factors such a review and approval of plans, which might

require a zoning change, availability of contractors, weather and financing.

A Half Shell Oyster House was announced in Madison with plans to open in the first quarter of 2018. But no dirt has been turned yet on the project.

Kevin Fish, vice president of operations and human resources for the Gulf Coast Restaurant Group, which operates the Half Shell Oyster House, The Rackhouse and Coast Foods, said there are many different factors that can impact an opening timeline.

“It starts with the developer, them getting their plans and often their permitting and financing in line,” Fish said. “Once they do and start building, we can usually get all of our permitting done while they are in that process so we can hit the

ground running once they have our building ready for us. I’d estimate eight to nine months on their end, a max of one year unless they are fighting some extraneous issues. Once we get the building, we open in four months.”

But Fish said all that has nothing to do with the delays for Half Shell Madison because even though they have worked with three separate developers now on a total of six different sites, they still don’t even have a lease signed on a site.

“So the ‘one year ‘till we open’ time has not even begun to click on the clock,” Fish said.

Ken Wilbanks, director of building and permits, city of Madison, said a lot goes into the construction process including lining up contractors See DELAYS, Page 21

Challenges, and no shortcuts » New Roy Anderson CEO knows he must gain employees’ trust

By NASH NUNNERY mbj@msbusiness.com

J. Mark Smith is fully aware that he’s not just taking over some corporate construction conglomerate. After all, Mississippi-made Roy Anderson Corp is highly regarded in the industry for its devoted client base and for delivering quality construction “on time and on budget.”

But Smith, who recently was named president and CEO of one of the state’s most iconic construction brands, believes the heart of Roy Anderson Corp is its employees.

“The loyalty of our employees is seldom seen in business, and that comes from their trust in Roy (Anderson III, former CEO),” he said. “That loyalty is manifested in their performance and client services. To gain their trust will take time, but I’ll work hard to gain their confidence.

“There are challenges stepping in behind a leader of Roy Anderson III’s stature. And there are no shortcuts.”

Launched 63 years ago by Roy Anderson Jr. with one pickup, two employees and a mere Smith $3,000, Gulfport-based Roy Anderson Corp has grown from one man’s dream into one of the South’s most successful construction firms. Roy Anderson III took over leadership duties from his father in 1992 and later added Harrell Contracting Group and Brice Building Company to the company’s portfolio.

In 2011, Roy Anderson III sold the company for $64 million to Tutor Perini, one of the nation’s largest general contractors, but continued in his CEO role until Smith assumed the reins last December.

In his first few weeks on the job, Smith says he’s enjoyed getting acquainted with his new team.

“I’ve learned the Roy Anderson culture is client-focused with a passion for exceptional service and integrity,” he said. “It’s ingrained in everything we do.”

Prior to joining RAC, Smith served as a senior vice president at multi-national engineering company AECOM, where he established the firm’s industrial manufacturing business unit.

Making the transition to life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast will not be difficult, he says.

Having grown up in Mississippi, Smith recalls fondly the many beach vacations he enjoyed on the Coast as a teenager. And, he’s quite familiar with the professional reputations of both Roy Anderson Corp and parent company Tutor Perini.

“I had friends working with Roy Anderson and TPC in California, so it was easy for me to get an employee’s perspective of the companies,” Smith said. “All the feedback I’ve gotten from employees and clients has been positive.

“It’s a pleasure to see so many long-tenured team members at Roy Anderson.”

An admitted consensus builder, Smith’s leadership style draws from collaboration between all parties involved in the process.

“There are always good ideas from many sources that should be considered,” he said.

“Each year, projects become more technically demanding, with greater budget and schedule pressures. The path to success involves everyone.”

With over three decades in the construction industry, the affable Smith has seen significant changes in the business but none more important than worker/ workplace safety.

“Our jobsites are much safer now compared to 30 years ago,” he said. “After safety, I feel that Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Visual Design and Construction (VDC) are the future if we are to continually improve productivity.”

Projects, big projects, are the name of the game in the construction industry. In addition to expanding the World War II Museum and constructing The Children’s Museum in New Orleans, Roy Anderson Corp has several active gaming projects, and are performing hurricane recovery efforts in multiple states.

In December, the company was awarded the bid to build the Mississippi Aquarium, a $52 million project set to be constructed on nearly six acres of beachfront property in Gulfport.

“We have a great mix of projects and the Aquarium will jumpstart other adjacent developments in the area,” Smith said. “It should be completed in 2019.”

Does he expect to make wholesale changes at Roy Anderson Corp? Not necessarily.

“I don’t expect to ‘change the recipe’ but I do want us to diversify into new markets to minimize the impacts of our cyclical markets,” Smith said.

Construction camp offers students a hands-on view Special to the MBJ

The Mississippi Construction Education Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Southern Mississippi, invites eighth through 10th-graders to learn and explore the design and construction industry during the USM Building Futures Summer Camp.

Scheduled for June 17-21 (beginners) and July 8-12 (advanced) on the USM campus in Hattiesburg, the sessions provide students with hands-on building activities taught by certified professionals.

During the week, participants will build a small structure from start to finish while exploring building design, architectural plan reading, hammering, soldering, concrete, roofing, electrical and much more.

“Many students and advisors are still unaware of opportunities available in career and technical education,” said MCEF president Mike Barkett. “We’re working to change that through initiatives like the Building Futures Summer Camp, where students will learn from experienced instructors in USM’s state-of-the-art School of Construction.”

Registration cost for this special week of learning is $500 with limited scholarships available.

Included are lodging at New Century Park residence hall and meals provided by USM’s Fresh Food Company.

Participants also will enjoy swimming, movie night and rock climbing.

Barkett noted that needs within the construction industry are always changing, but never more than today.

“By 2019, Mississippi will need more than 80,000 craft professionals to meet the needs of the state’s growing construction industry,” he said.

“To be successful in this environment, we must inform our students of emerging opportunities while providing the necessary resources to help.

“That’s really what the USM Building Futures Summer Camp See CAMP, Page 23

and subcontractors, permitting and even the favorability of the weather.

“Then sometimes it is also a matter of the amount of experience that they have in the business of building,” he said. “A lot of them come in and are ready, and a lot come in and don’t have all their plans ready. Sometimes there are items not anticipated in the budget like engineering fees. There are more issues than just getting a building permit. It takes a lot to get all that stuff from the drawing board to the ground.”

Ben Requet, assistant director of the planning department for the City of Oxford, said in addition to a development review period, there is also a building plan review where construction drawings are evaluated to make sure they are compliant with the International Building Code.

“That takes some time,” Requet said.

“In the planning department, we spend time combing through plans submitted from the general site plan about where water and other utility lines go. Sometimes only partial plans are submitted to us, and that adds to the delay. The architect on the project might be from out of state.

They may not be familiar with our process and procedures. Not everything is the same from one place to the next.”

Then after all the planning and permitting hurdles are passed, he said some

“A lot of times, it depends on how much work has been done in the background by the company, the contractor or developer in terms of zoning or subdividing.”

projects end up having problems closing on the loan.

Andrew Ellard, director of urban development, Hattiesburg, said you can’t lump every project together.

“Every project has to be taken on a caseby-case basis,” Ellard said. “A lot of times, it depends on how much work has been done in the background by the company, the contractor or developer in terms of

zoning or subdividing. They might delay in getting that work done if they want to keep details under wraps. But that can’t happen when you have to go to public meetings where details would become known earlier than wanted.”

Ellard said the City of Hattiesburg certainly tries to move every project forward as expediently possible, but it can take time. Sometime property where a project

is proposed might require rezoning. Or it might require assembling several properties together.

“Not to mention, construction management itself is a complex task,” Ellard said.

“Depending on the size and scale of the project, there is a lot that can go into it.

We look forward to talking to any property owner with a project. We set it up in Hattiesburg to allow as much opportunity to go through planning, buildings, codes and engineering, and try to problem solve and help people through their concepts as early as possible. Sometimes developments might be very fleshed out before we hear of them and sometime people come with a vague concept and we might be able to point them in right direction to shape their vision.”

Ellard said it is certainly never their intention to make a project drag on, but when you get into zoning changes and complex projects such as subdivisions, there are formalized processes that have to be followed. Board of adjustments and city council approvals might be needed.

The larger the project, the more time it may take. Currently The District at Midtown is being developed that takes up one square block at 31st Avenue south of the University of Southern Mississippi.

“We are excited to see a mixed-used district of that size,” Ellard said. “We are thrilled to work with them to move that project forward. We expect to see some businesses open soon.”
