BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Nearly $70 million has been approved for two restoration projects on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that will help improve water quality and enhance the coastal habitat for fish and wildlife.
Gov. Reeves announced Wednesday that the RESTORE Council approved a plan that includes the two restoration projects for Mississippi, as well as five additional projects in the Gulf of Mexico that will also benefit the coast.
Cypress Bayou Casino employee Terry Freeman received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine while at work.
Rachel Patin did not want to get any of the three available COVID-19 vaccines. They were all produced too quickly for her comfort.
“[There’s] just not enough history, enough testing,” the Iberia Parish home health aide said.
But on April 7, she reluctantly found herself at a vaccination clinic at the Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel in neighboring St. Mary Parish.
There were a few things that helped to change her mind. First, the shot that was being administered that day was Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose vaccine. She said she wouldn’t have taken one of the two-shot options. Second, she and her husband really miss traveling.
