SUMMARY: In Harrison County, officials are excited for the return of a forecast for a new travel center called Buc-ee's, which is expected to bring in business and create jobs. Residents and business owners are looking forward to the new opportunities it will bring. Some have faced challenges, such as decreased business due to road construction, but are hopeful that the new travel center will create positive change in the area. The facility is expected to deliver sales tax benefits to the state and the county, and local residents are eager to see what it will offer upon completion in November.

Officials in Harrison County say Mississippi's first Buc-ee's travel center could open in November of this year.

SUMMARY: The debate over the proposed G Park estate RV Resort in Jackson County continues as residents petition to stop the development. The proposed RV park is facing legal challenges and allegations of violating zoning ordinances.

A group has collected over 1,700 signatures against the RV park. The Jackson County Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing later this month to address the issues. Both sides urge residents to participate in the discussion and work towards a resolution.

A group is now challenging the Jackson County Board of Supervisors' decision in court later this month.
