SUMMARY: Legacy Park in Jackson County is moving forward with its original design plans after Hyde’s Chancery Court upheld approval for a medical and retail center. The court confirmed the need for more medical services, addressing a shortage of primary care in Gocha. The project faced opposition from Singing River Health System and Jackson County Board of Supervisors but gained support from locals, including Gocha Mayor Casey Vaughn, who called it a “game changer.” Developer Dr. Saudi Lisa and partners are now fully committed to building the medical center, retail stores, condos, and a boulevard, with construction expected to start in 3-4 months.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center’s Deputy Director Jamie Rome discussed preparations for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. While forecasts for the season are still uncertain, Rome emphasized that factors like El Nino and other variables influence hurricane activity. He advised individuals to prepare for extended power outages, especially in hurricane-prone areas, and to focus on more than just basic supplies. The 2025 season could follow the active cycle seen in the Gulf of Mexico over the past decade, with peak activity expected around September 10th. A list of storm names for the season has been released, and early signs of activity may appear in May.
