SUMMARY: The Downtown Hattisburg Association held a meeting to gather feedback on the future of the city’s center. Over 100 residents attended, showing the community’s interest in downtown development. Residents expressed a desire for a grocery store, pharmacy, boutique hotels, and increased nightlife. The association plans to incorporate this feedback into their new plan called the downtown road map. Local businesses, such as Chiron McDonald’s, hope to remain involved in the process. The DHA will receive a full report on the meetings in four to six weeks and then move forward with the findings to further improve downtown Hattisburg.
