250 homes to be rebuilt

250 homes to be rebuilt: "The homes the partners are looking at rebuilding are in an area bound by King Avenue, Chickasaw, 11th and 14th streets.

The City Council recently approved using $441,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for down payment assistance for residents and $441,000 for hazard mitigation issues, City Manager Kay Kell said.

Homeowners, property owners and even renters -- 'anyone who lived in that neighborhood before' -- should attend the meeting, Pascagoula Community Development Director Betty Bensey said, but all citizens are invited."
