SUMMARY: Neighbors in a busy subdivision are opposing a new development project that involves building seven residential homes out of shipping containers. Developer Ivan Spinner is behind the project, which includes amenities such as a gated entryway and potential community spaces like a pickleball or basketball court. However, residents are pushing back, concerned about the integrity of the neighborhood and the impact of the container homes. A petition has been started to prevent the project from getting approval, with residents favoring other types of businesses or amenities instead. The issue will be discussed at the upcoming Planning Commission meeting on May 2nd.

A new spin on development may be coming to one Biloxi neighborhood. However, local residents are fighting the idea.
