SUMMARY: Phase 2 of the Bayou Lacroix Boat Launch improvement project has commenced in Bay St. Louis, following the successful completion of the initial boat ramp a few years ago. This phase includes extending the bulkhead and installing a new kayak launch, enhancing access for kayakers and anglers. The $150,000 project is funded by the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust, prompted by the need for amenities after Hurricane Katrina. The boat launch, frequently utilized by residents, will facilitate easier access to the Bay of St. Louis and the Jordan River, expected to be completed within four weeks, just in time for summer.
