Biloxi Main Street has been the driving force behind the revitalization of Biloxi in 2024,
creating the perfect environment for residents and small businesses downtown. Main
Street’s mission is to be the catalyst in promoting, preserving, revitalizing, and
enhancing the economic growth of the downtown Biloxi area.
Main Street has added several amenities to the area, with plans for more following the
receipt of several grants.
The amenities include an 18-hole disc golf course and a DIY skate park in the How Hop
Creative District under the I-110, as well as new fish-shaped bike racks along Howard
Avenue. In addition to these completed projects, work will soon begin on several new
murals, and the alleyway along GE OHR Street will undergo a makeover.
Funding has been flowing in and will lead to even bigger projects later in 2024. Main
Street received grants from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, the Mississippi Main
Street Revitalization Grant, and ARPA, totaling just under $700,000. These funds will be
used to bring more art and much-needed lighting to the How Hop Creative District.
Kay Miller – Main Street Biloxi Executive Director stated, “You can feel the energy and
excitement in Downtown Biloxi! There is activity everywhere, and people want to be
here! That is what Main Street’s mission is, to create a PLACE where people will keep
coming back!”
