News and notes
Museum meetings: This morning’s special council was dominated with sobering news: projected costs surpass available funding for two proposed Point Cadet projects, the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum and the proposed waterfront park. Two reports provided councilmembers an overview of the projects, projected costs and means to reduce costs.

City Council: This month, the Biloxi Council will meet the first, second and third Tuesdays of the month instead of the usual first, third and fourth Tuesday of the month, owing to the Thanksgiving holiday.
