Long Beach approves lease agreement for casino development
SUMMARY: Long Beach leaders have approved an agreement to develop a casino on the former Kmart property, a deal nearly ten years in the making. The Long Beach Board of Aldermen unanimously granted a 40-year lease to Long Beach Harbor Resorts, owned by Jim Parish, who also runs a restaurant at the harbor. Construction must begin within three years and the casino must open within five. Mayor George Bass emphasizes this might be the city’s only chance for a casino, which he believes could boost the local economy and provide funds for the school district, alongside a million dollars for first responder infrastructure.

Gulfport Public Works is inspecting the water lines of about 35,000 customers, primarily in homes built before 1985. While no lead lines have been found so far, 900 galvanized lines have been identified, which must also be replaced due to potential lead absorption.
