I n light of so much activity about the Dabbs Street Community, City of Hattiesburg Ward 5 Councilman Nick Brown is not just talking about making changes, he's also putting his words into action. Tuesday, October 16, 2018, when Dabbs St. Community asked the city to change the city's zone codes so that more businesses can be brought to Dabbs Street, Councilman Brown was the only person who voted in favor of the community's request which would have led to opening new businesses on Dabbs Street, everyone else rejected the request in a 4-1 decision, overruling both the community and Councilman Brown. After multiple violent crimes across the city, which left one dead and several others hospitalized, Councilman Brown attended a meeting of community, city, and business leaders representing the City of Hattiesburg on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 and on the next day, Thursday evening, although he wasn't asked to speak or help plan a rally that was organized by city officials against violence that was held walking distance from his home in his neighborhood, he showed up anyway, and forcefully spoke out against the crime. This comes just months after he's hosted a job fair in which over 1,500 people attended and built a much needed state of the art pavilion in the Palmer's Crossing Community. Add that to the fact that he's increased safety by demanding blown out street lights be fixed and personally picking up paper on the sides of the roads, you can say Councilman Nick Brown is serious about action for improving the community in which he both lives and serves.
