SUMMARY: Maggie’s mother, father, and siblings received signed copies of a proclamation. These copies will be sent to fire stations throughout Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson counties, as a way to thank the first responders in those areas. Volunteers from Women of Wisdom and other local organizations, as well as students from local schools and the Boys and Girls Club, are helping pack 2,000 goody bags filled with handmade thank you cards. These goody bags will also be served during a lunch event next Monday, where nearly 801st responders and 76 fire stations across the coast will be recognized for their important work and support. Overall, it is essential to give back and recognize the efforts of first responders, as they may not always feel appreciated for their work in protecting and supporting the community.

SUMMARY: The future of the Legacy Park multi-use center in Jackson County is uncertain due to funding issues. Originally planned as a retail, restaurant, and healthcare hub, recent revisions now focus solely on a memorial endoscopy facility. Developer Dr. Saka expresses disappointment, highlighting the project’s potential impact on the community. The Jackson County Board of Supervisors has encouraged a partnership with Singing River Health System to enhance local investment, but negotiations have been challenging. Meanwhile, the Board is pursuing a separate $35 million Bass Pro Shops project that won’t benefit county sales tax. An open discussion is scheduled for March 3rd.
