Davis Bayou dredging almost finished after years of complaints
SUMMARY: After almost 20 years of complaints from residents, the dredging project for Davis Bayou in Jackson County is nearing completion. The initiative, driven by homeowners since Hurricane Katrina, faced significant delays, with residents even funding permits since 2008. Despite frustrations, progress has finally been made, as a $690,000 contract was awarded to Breakwater Marine Construction in 2023, though it took over a year to start. Recent efforts have accelerated work, and as of now, the contractor is close to finishing the dredging, marking a long-awaited relief for local homeowners seeking better access to the water.
