Garfield Ladner Pier

The Garfield Ladner Pier will be open this summer!  Reported by Mickey Lagasse with Compton Engineering to the Board of Mayor and Alderman at Wednesday, March 18th board meeting, the pier’s target date to be substantially complete by the Memorial Day weekend.  

Having the Garfield Ladner Pier back is going to be a huge milestone for residents and tourists alike.  Unlike times in the past, the pier is going to be free to the public. My hope is by next year that Waveland will have a first class restroom facility and pavilion to go along with the rest of the attractions at the foot of Coleman Avenue.

Jeff Davis Project

Brent Anderson and I continue to monitor the progress of the Jeff Davis and Gulfside Sewage and Water Project.  We are in regular meetings with the engineer and contractor to insure the project be completed correctly.  The vast amount of rain during March severely impeded the progress of this project.  I hope to report a firm ribbon cutting date to everyone next month.
