SUMMARY: As the school year ends, Jackson County business owner Christina Bates of Old School Tutoring and Toys in Pascoula encourages parents to prepare early for next year’s school supplies to save money. Her shop sold over 500 school supply bags last year, and early deposits help manage inventory and keep prices low. Bates is also concerned about tariffs on supplies from China, hoping to buy in bulk before the tariff pause expires. Although she wishes to absorb extra costs, rising tariffs may force price increases. Families are urged to take advantage of current lower prices while possible.

One Coast business is concerned about tariffs impacting some supply prices and shipping costs.

SUMMARY: The development of Legacy Park in Gocha faces ongoing legal challenges from Singing River Health System. Despite a court ruling in favor of the developers in April, the health system continues to file complaints, claiming the developers are moving forward without proper approval. Dr. Sia Laka, one of the developers, argues these actions are an attempt to stall progress and hinder economic growth. While the health system has 30 days to appeal to the Mississippi Supreme Court, Dr. Laka insists that Legacy Park’s development is legal and will proceed as planned, regardless of opposition.

A Legacy Park developer says Singing River Health System (SRHS) is continuing to fight against the proposed multi-use development.
