SUMMARY: A proposed condo project called “Front Beach Condos” in Ocean Springs is facing delays before it becomes official. The development, which aims to build two six-story condo towers with 198 units and various amenities on vacant land near the Ocean Springs Yacht Club, has raised concerns among residents and local organization Save Ocean Springs. Issues include compliance with water view protection zone requirements, removal of protected trees, and the rapid growth in density. Alderman Ricky Otom states that no paperwork has been submitted yet, emphasizing that all discussions are preliminary. Transparency and public input will be prioritized once an official proposal is made.

SUMMARY: Harrison County leaders have finalized and approved the 2025-2026 fiscal budget with no tax increase, balancing expenditures at around $324 million. The Board of Supervisors completed budget talks and passed the budget before the October 1st deadline. Board President Nathan Barrett confirmed there will be no increases in the county’s tax levies. However, the Harrison County School District will implement a small, state-required increase in their school tax, which is a formality and expected to have minimal impact on taxpayers. Overall, the county’s budget remains stable without additional fiscal burdens on residents.
