SUMMARY: The City of Ocean Springs sought to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by property owners alleging violations of their constitutional rights. The city argues that it provided adequate notice, held listening sessions, and offered meetings with city officials. A new map has been created, removing controversial residential zoning from the urban renewal proposal. The revised map will be presented at an open meeting and made available for public review before being accepted or denied. The city denies plans to displace any residents, while the property owners’ lawsuit will contest the motion to dismiss. The Mayor denies allegations that the area for homes was designated as blighted by the city.

Plaintiffs allege the city denied them due process and violated their constitutional rights by designating their homes as “blighted.”
