Beach Walking Path Repairs

The walking/bike path along Beach Boulevard in Waveland and Bay St. Louis is slated to be repaired.  Over the years, the condition of a few sections of the walk has buckled due to harsh conditions.  The Hancock County Board of Supervisors has authorized Morreale Construction to begin work on the Beach sidewalk repair.

Morreale Construction will replace the 34 damaged sections of the sidewalk.  The total cost of the repairs is $47,800, and the project manager is Hancock County Road Manager Vic Johnson. This project will be complete by the end of the year.

Waveland Lighthouse

The wait is finally over.  The Waveland Lighthouse and Public Pavilion Project construction is about to start.  The Waveland Mayor and Board of Alderman awarded a contract to Barnard & Sons Construction to build the Waveland Lighthouse and Public Pavilion at a special meeting on October 26th.
 
The Waveland Lighthouse has been a dream for years, but it is finally coming to fruition.  The current administration has been allocating money for this project since we took office. This project is being constructed in partnership with the Hancock County Board of Supervisors. The project is going to take approximately one year to construct. The Waveland Lighthouse and Public Pavilion is going to be a welcome addition to the Waveland beachfront.
