A Message from Mayor Love

Good Afternoon, Gulfport,

Just a reminder of what’s coming up this week in Gulfport:

City Council Meeting, Tuesday, January 6 at 6:00 PM

We will receive a presentation on the results of our Vulnerability Study, which looks at how Gulfport can better prepare for future challenges.

Community Town Hall, Thursday, January 8 at 6:00 PM

Please join us to share your ideas and provide input on the future of the marina property (formerly known as the Lions Club property). This is an important opportunity for residents to help shape what comes next for this space.

Traffic Advisory

Starting today, the northbound lane of 58th Street will be closed for construction and is expected to remain closed for several months. Please plan accordingly and use alternate routes when possible.

I hope to see you at both meetings, your participation matters.

-Mayor Love
