SUMMARY: Developer seeks to build a condominium complex on the beach in downtown Bay Saint Louis. However, the project would require a big concession from the city, as it needs approval from the city council and a variance from the city for parking. Some people in the community have concerns about the project, including its potential to disrupt the charm of the city, increase traffic congestion, and decrease property values. Despite these concerns, the community could benefit financially from the project, and the variance will go before the city planning commission. However, it’s not a done deal, as the city has a building height limit and the project may require additional approval.

The owners of Dan B’s are seeking a variance from the City of Bay St. Louis to build an eight-story condominium at the foot of Main Street.

SUMMARY: Following Mississippi’s recent election, there is growing interest in expanding early voting options. Currently, Mississippi is one of only three states that require an excuse for absentee voting. Many voters support early voting, citing convenience for busy schedules and medical conditions. State Senator Jeremy England, who introduced early voting legislation last year, aims to bring it up again. His bill would allow in-person early voting with a valid photo ID, ensuring a secure process and timely results. While absentee ballots are still being counted, early voting could streamline the process and provide quicker election results.

Mississippi is one of only three states that doesn’t allow early voting. State Senator Jeremy England is pushing to bring early voting to the state.
