City officials are making plans in April to temporarily close the block of South Union Street in front of St. Mary Basilica as scaffolding is erected for its ongoing renovations.
Plans call for the street to be closed April 4 for two to four weeks as scaffolds are set up, said church representative Nathan Stubbs, who met Tuesday with Natchez aldermen seeking permission to close the street between State and Main.
He said the scaffolding will be more complex and larger than what’s currently placed on the basilica’s Main Street side, where work has already begun for refurbishing the Catholic edifice built in 1843.
