Judge: No work on entertainment pier as lawsuit is pending
A judge has issued an order that blocks a company from starting construction on an entertainment pier on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Harrison County Chancery Court Judge Jennifer Schloegel issued the temporary restraining order Wednesday in a lawsuit that the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office filed in July 2019, the Sun Herald reported.
The state argues that before a pier can be built at the end of Veterans Avenue in Biloxi, a public trust tidelands lease is required through the secretary of state. The city disagrees. A hearing is set for May 5.
