Smooth Sailing or Rough Seas? By Patrick Heinzen

At the meeting, people could offer input about what Gulfport Marina changes they wanted to see — and what they didn’t want.
While Gulfportians are all too familiar with flooding from storm surge, they’re also quite familiar with working and playing on the water. Gulfport’s Municipal Marina serves the community through providing business, recreation, and education. The marina’s importance also makes it a major topic of discussion in Gulfport. On March
25, the City partnered with Stantec Consulting to meet with the community to discuss a possible concept for the marina. From 6-8 p.m., community members, stakeholders, and experts gathered in the Historic Gulfport Casino to talk about ideas. In a press release from the City, Marina Director Denis Frain shared his thoughts on the meeting.
“We are excited to engage with our community and partner with Stantec Consulting to chart the course for the future of our Municipal Marina,” said Frain. “This meeting presents a valuable opportunity for residents to voice their opinions, share ideas, and contribute to the enhancement of this vital community asset.” Marina continued on page 8
