LIVE:Hattiesburg Regional Airport Dedication
SUMMARY: Today, we gathered at Bobby Chain Municipal Airport to honor Jesse L. Brown, a pioneering aviator from Hattiesburg, by dedicating an aeronautic facility in his name, one day after what would have been his 99th birthday. Key attendees included military representatives and David Forbe, who proposed this tribute. Reverend Arthur Sigers led the invocation, followed by remarks from family members and officials, emphasizing Brown’s vision and perseverance. Despite past underestimations, Brown made history as the Navy’s first African-American pilot. This dedication aims to inspire future generations and recognize the airport’s role in regional growth and development.

Rail service in Wayne County could be restored
SUMMARY: The Rail Authority of East Mississippi is reviving a long-defunct railroad system in Wayne County to facilitate nationwide product shipping. The project aims to establish a 56-mile line connecting existing short-line railroads between Meridian and the Gulf Coast, enhancing economic advantages for local industries such as poultry, grain, forestry, and construction. Expected to cost $500,000, it could create 6,000 new jobs. Officials are currently reviewing environmental and logistical studies before seeking federal funding. The project would improve transportation costs and connect vital ports for shipping goods northward and to Mexico, with construction anticipated to begin by 2034.
