GOCOAST 2020 HOSTS PUBLIC MEETINGS

The GoCoast 2020 Commission held a series of three Listening Sessions the first week in October to update the public on the current progress of the GoCoast 2020 Commission and to also give an additional opportunity for the public to provide comments and ask questions about the process. Meetings were held in Gautier, Long Beach, and Bay St. Louis.

GoCoast 2020 was established by Governor Phil Bryant through executive order to serve as the official advisory board for the allocation of funds received by the State of Mississippi under the RESTORE Act and to create a long-range planning strategy for the Mississippi Gulf Coast. More information on the Commission is available at www.gocoast2020.com. The public may also submit ideas and proposals through the website.
