SUMMARY: Moss Point city officials are inviting the public to a walking tour of downtown. Residents have the opportunity to speak with real estate consultants about adding more businesses to Main Street. Stephanie Poole explains that River City residents tour downtown with sticky notes in hand, discussing revitalization efforts. Moss Point Main Street received a USDA grant to bring place and main advisors in five counties across Mississippi to revitalize communities. Mayor Billy Knight says planning economic growth and development has been in the works for years, and they are looking for developers to help fill vacant properties and bring new businesses to downtown. Karl Booker emphasizes the community values and resilience of Moss Point residents. The Redevelopment Authority, comprised of five people, will manage the project downtown on the city’s behalf, involving ideas for lighting, landscaping, and traffic signage enhancements. Additionally, “Place and Main Advisors” will visit downtown Gulfport River City.
