Like everyone along the Gulf Coast, the CVB is monitoring the clean-up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We are closely monitoring all information sources related to the oil spill.
The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), in coordination with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have ordered the reopening of Mississippi territorial waters north of the barrier islands to all commercial and recreational finfish and shrimp fishing activities that were part of the precautionary oil spill closures. This order takes effect at 6:01 p.m. Friday, July 30, 2010. All commercial and recreational crab and oyster fishing will remain closed in the affected area.
Scattered incidents of tar balls reaching the main shoreline continue. A total of 20 cleanup crews are working daily to clean these beaches. Beach advisories remain in effect in Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties. These beaches are not closed and beach goers may continue to use these beaches and enjoy water activities, but the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the Mississippi State Department of Health advise people to be aware of their surroundings while recreating. Yes, you may be on the beach when cleanup crews are present.
The advisories are issued for: Jackson County: Main Street in the Belle Fountain area west to Seashore Avenue Harrison County: Henderson Point in Pass Christian west to Azalea Ave in Biloxi Hancock County: Nicholson Blvd in Bay St Louis west to Oak Blvd in Lakeshore

The National Park Service is reporting that all barrier islands in the Mississippi district are open. Petit Bois Island is located approximately 14 miles south of Pascagoula and is a designated wildlife area and one of the least visited of our barrier islands. It is about 6 miles long. Horn and Ship Islands are approximately 12 miles south of Biloxi and Gulfport respectively. Ship Island is the only barrier island with passenger service available. Ship Island Excursions take passengers from the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor to West Ship Island.
According to NOAA, tar balls DO NOT pose a health risk to the average person. However, beachgoers are advised not to pick them up if they encounter them on the beach and are asked to report any sightings by calling 866-448-5816. To read NOAA's information about the tar balls, click here.
Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality: The Environmental Protection Agency has initiated an air monitoring effort to ensure the safety of local residents and track any developing air quality changes. To see the latest data, visit http://airnow.gov/. EPA is sampling the air, water and sediment to assess the impact of the oil spill on the affected ecosystems. Samples can take time to process, usually about 3-4 days. Sampling data will provide specific information about the pollutants and will be used to help guide the response and cleanup. EPA is working with local, state and federal response partners.

D'IBERVILLE, MS (WLOX) - Five acres in D'iberville could soon be home to a resort that would put the city on the tourism map. City officials say the Can Can Casino Resort would take a back seat to no other casino on the coast.
Bill Holland is a master boat builder with a home and business next door to the proposed casino. He wants to see it happen.
"I think this might be the one," Holland said. "I've always said we are within a mile of I-110 and we don't have to go into Biloxi to go to a casino."
But not everyone is so anxious to see the Can Can come out of the ground. Don Jones owns a home on the other side of the property, and sees a future full of cars.
"Well, it's going to bring all types of people like they normally do and there's going to be a lot of traffic," Jones said.
Can Can President Joseph Manno said the money is there to get that traffic coming.
"We've seen the change in the commercial markets where before there was no money available, now we see that it's there," Manno said. "My primary investor, my partner is very, very confident that we are not going to have a problem."
In addition to the actual casino on the property, the city of D'Iberville is planning on being involved as well, by creating a French Market north of the property complete with boutiques and small shops. In essence, it would create a new downtown area.
Manno believes that's good for both the city and the casino.
"That will attract thousands of people, which is foot traffic. And even if the casino only gets 10 percent of that, that's huge."
Also huge is the price tag for the shopping plaza, estimated at $200 million. Much of that would be funded by Can Can.
Manno said if the financing comes together in the next few weeks, you will see a casino being built in D'Iberville by the end of the year. Before construction could begin, the casino must go through several other regulatory hurdles. Among those would be getting a master plan approved and getting permits from several local, state, and federal agencies.

At the June 1 City Council Meeting, Hank Rogers reported that he recently attended the National Association of Floodplain Managers’ meeting in Oklahoma City. It was announced at the meeting that effective October 1, 2010, the City of D’Iberville will be a Class 5 in the CRS Program. Rogers explained the rating means three things:
D’Iberville will be the only city in the state will a class 5 rating. Waveland currently holds a class 5, but by October, they will have unfortunately lost the classification.
Upon renewal of flood insurance policies after October 1, citizens in Flood Hazard Zones A and V will be eligible for a 25% discount.
All other citizens will receive a 10% discount, upon renewal after October 1, 2010.
Rogers congratulated his staff, especially Jennifer Patin, the CRS Coordinator for her hard work in achieving the classification and the council for committing to participating in the CRS program. D’Iberville is one of only 53 cities in the country with a class 5 designation, having moved up 6 categories in the three years it has been in the program.

Great news For MS, $40 million for State Wind Pool
Great News for Mississippi. The Mississippi House of Representatives passed (HB1697) which would place an additional $20 million into the State Wind Pool. This bill now goes to conference were House and Senate negotiators will finalize the legislation and MAR will continue to lobby for its passage.
In the wake of Katrina, private insurance market left the Mississippi Gulf Coast leaving tens of thousands of households forced to rely on the wind pool for insurance.
By funding the Wind Pool with a minimum of $20 million, the wind pool rates will be reduced which will afford long term solutions to be employed. Subsidizing the wind pool is only a short term plan that will hopefully stimulate the economy along the Mississippi Gulf Coast for two to three years while long term solutions are cultivated and the private market is given additional time to return. If this occurs, the recovery efforts along the Mississippi Gulf Coast can progress more quickly and the Gulf Coast will continue to generate revenues that help drive the overall Mississippi economy.

One of the many dire predictions done these past few months by many ‘bubbleologists’ out there
-
that is all those who indulge in the contemplation of
bubbles in the real estate market of all sizes and colors, whether real or imaginary, coming our
way - was that by now real estate markets everywhere would be inundated
and swept away by a tsunami of foreclosures of apocalyptic proportions.
The
general rationale among those specializing in the fine art of staring
at crystal balls (or perhaps at several empty bottles of rum) was that
the steady increase in interest rates, the consequence of a tightening
monetary policy implemented by the Fed since mid-2004, would have led
by now to a collapse of the adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) market,
since consumers could not possibly cope with the increased monthly
payments. This, in turn, would dramatically increase mortgage defaults
and foreclosures, with the end result that real estate markets
everywhere would be flooded with excess inventory at deflated prices,
thus causing markets to crash - the tsunami I was talking about.
