SUMMARY: Pascagoula is funding its parks and recreation through a 2% tax on restaurant meals and drinks.

The complex hosts weekend tournaments, boosting the local economy. Many residents were unaware of the tax’s impact but now see its value, funding not only new equipment but also park maintenance.
