SUMMARY: A public hearing in Goet tonight saw the city at odds with Jackson County and Singing River Health System over a proposed commercial development including a cardiac Surgery Center. The city council voted to create a Tiff district for Legacy Park, despite opposition from Singing River Health who argue that the new center could impact their profits and employee recruitment. The main developer, Dr. Sati Adanka, defended the project, citing the changing healthcare landscape towards outpatient care. The city maintains that they are only facilitating infrastructure development through the Tiff district. The decision was met with disappointment but the agreement will be decided at a later date.

Gautier City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve the creation of a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) district for a commercial development.
