SUMMARY: Construction is underway on Waveland’s first hotel in over 20 years, a $16 million dual-brand Marriott featuring Fairfield and TownePlace Suites. Located along Highway 90 near the old Spanish Trail, the hotel is expected to boost economic growth in Hancock County by attracting short-term visitors to Stennis Space Center, Port Bienville, and Stennis Airport. Mayor Trapani highlights the hotel’s potential to encourage more long-term residents as people tend to settle in areas they’ve visited. The project involves collaboration among the city, Hancock County Board of Supervisors, and the Hancock County Port and Harbor Commission. A ribbon cutting is planned for next summer.
