Black History Month: Reconstruction of the Phoenix
SUMMARY: Turkey Creek is a historic centerpiece in Harrison County, Mississippi. Water flowing through Turkey Creek goes into its neighborhood, Bayou Bernard, sending currents throughout the community. Turkey Creek, known as the Phoenix Naval Store, was a significant industrial producer. The area was a historic district for Black settlers dating back to the 1860s. The Phoenix Naval Store operated as a supplier and processor until an explosion in 1943, killing 11 Black workers. The property went through restoration efforts and is now the location of Turkey Creek Headstart, one of the oldest education facilities in the area, with plans for further development by the National Park Service and local organizations.

New parking garage could solve parking woes at Memorial Hospital
SUMMARY: Memorial Hospital in Gulfport is facing a parking issue for its workers and patients. Coast Transit Authority is stepping in with a solution – a parking garage that would double the capacity of the existing lot. The garage will have 520 spaces, a pedestrian bridge to the hospital, and eliminate the need to cross a busy street. The $24 million project will be partially funded by the hospital with hopes for the rest to come from a US Department of Transportation grant. CTA is also planning to build a new bus hub to expand services. Grant recipients will be announced in June.
