In Gary, Indiana, the mayor along with Joe Jackson wants to make a move forward and bring a performing arts center and museum in honor of Micheal Jackson in the town. Mayor Clay has suggested that the project has potential to bring 500,000 to 750,000 visitors to the town and bring in income of $100-150 million dollars to the community. Also, the project will generate hundreds of construction and full-time jobs. All ten of the Jackson children were born in Gary, Indiana. There two bedroom home at 2300 Jackson Street is still a shrine for tourists to see. Micheal Jackson died on June 25, 2009.
I think that a museam and performing arts center should deffinitly be built in honor of Micheal Jackson. He is a legend and it would only make sense for something to be built for him in his home town. I think that it is great that this project would generate many jobs. With the unemployment rate at 10%, many people in the area of Gary would probably really appretiate the job opportunities. It would also bring in money for the community and the economy. Overall, I hope that this project goes through beacause it would be really interesting to see the results and see all of Micheal Jacksons glory in a museam. Im sure that very many people would go to Gary to visit the museum.
