PASCAGOULA - City officials will conduct two public meetings on today at the Recreation Center,
2935 Pascagoula Street, to update the community on both the Army Corps of Engineers Beach
Stabilization Project and the current situation regarding the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
The Army Corps of Engineers will begin the meeting at 6 p.m. by presenting the
protective measures they are taking to stabilize the beach along Beach
Boulevard.
Following the Corp at 7 p.m. will be representatives from BP, Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Marine Resources (DMR), U.S. Coast Guard,
and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Prior to the question and
answer session citizens will have the opportunity to hear the latest updates
such as air quality monitory and loan programs being made available through the
SBA.
In an effort to inform both the Hispanic and Vietnamese communities about the
two public meetings, a flier was created and distributed announcing the public
meetings in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
For more information about either of the public meetings scheduled for tonight
(May 27), contact Pascagoula City Hall at 228-762-1020.
