SUMMARY: A housing project in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi is nearing completion, with 18 new homes being built by three like-minded women with a focus on diversity. The project is called a “smart growth project” and is designed and constructed with sustainable and locally-sourced materials. The neighborhood will also include a neighborhood center and lush green space. The area was subject to a hydraulic study to ensure that the flood conditions would remain the same. This construction project, run by women, is considered very unusual anywhere in the world, especially in South Mississippi, and is the result of the work of architect Alison Anderson, and her team.

One construction project is nearing completion in Bay St. Louis, but it is the team behind the work making this headline.

SUMMARY: **Summary (100 words):**
In this week’s *Behind the Business: Sugar Tribe Sweets and Events*, what began as a hobby for Ocean Springs’ Jennifer Mayfield has grown into a flourishing bakery and event business. Inspired by a cake she made for her nephew’s birthday, Mayfield launched Sugar Tribe through social media. Self-taught via YouTube and trial and error, she expanded from home baking to two storefronts. Sugar Tribe now offers custom cakes, themed desserts, brownies, cinnamon rolls, king cakes, and event services including linens and decor. Though cakes are her specialty, Mayfield’s creativity drives her growing success—alongside owning an urgent care clinic.
