Secretary of State files lawsuit against Tullis Gardens as developer seeks casino site approval
SUMMARY: Today, Tulis Gardens developers will seek approval from the gaming commission for a new casino in Buxy. However, a lawsuit challenges their legal access to the waterfront, which is essential for casino projects. Secretary of State Michael Watson filed the suit, asserting that a tidelands lease is required. Tulis Gardens has an option to purchase city land west of Oak Street, previously home to Tulis Manor before Hurricane Katrina. They also have a lease to build a pier along the beach, but Watson’s lawsuit claims this is an attempt to circumvent tidelands law. Updates will follow on the situation.
The lawsuit was filed in Harrison County Chancery Court one day before Tullis Gardens is set to appear before the state gaming commission for site approval.
