Your State of the City primer
Pulse, a local full-color newsletter about real estate and development on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, includes a four-page Q&A with Mayor A.J. Holloway about the status of rebuilding in Biloxi, a sort of pre-State of the City report.
The glossy newsletter, with Holloway’s smiling mug on the cover, was produced by Kenneth Jones of Coldwell Banker Commercial. A limited supply is available at the Schooner restaurant, Desporte’s, BancorpSouth, Community Bank and Quality Seafood.

Deja vu: Council to consider flood maps
The Biloxi City Council on Tuesday will once again face the issue of adopting the federally recommended flood elevation maps, which will set building elevations throughout the city and nearly double the size of the desginated flood-prone areas in east Biloxi.
Consideration of the maps, which Mayor A.J. Holloway has urged repeatedly for months, is one of more than a dozen issues on the council’s agenda.
