NATCHEZ, Miss. – Mayor Dan Gibson celebrated the one-year anniversary Friday of him taking office by proclaiming a new development for the old Eola hotel has been sparked by the city’s plans for building a downtown parking garage.
He cited the “soon-to-be announced new development” as one of the many happenings in what he calls “The Natchez Renewal” initiated 12 months ago when he became mayor.
“We have not wasted time. We have made the most of it, and we have a lot to show for it,” Gibson said.
As he wrapped up his first annual State of the City speech Friday evening as mayor, Gibson extolled an agreement he said has been clinched for the now-closed Eola – the city’s downtown centerpiece since 1927 – that he’s been working to revive since taking office.

NATCHEZ, Miss. – The mayor and city aldermen unveiled plans Thursday to demolish the Fry Building and put a downtown Natchez parking garage in its place.
The Board of Aldermen voted to accept property owner Walter Davis III’s donation of the building to the city, which will have it torn down and then construct a multilevel parking facility, said Mayor Dan Gibson.
Once the city’s largest office building – located on the corner of Pearl and Franklin streets the 1950s structure has deteriorated and been partly vacant for several years.
Gibson said a parking garage could help prompt the renovation and reopening of the adjacent Eola Hotel, which has been closed since 2014. Developers since then have planned and begun work to refurbish the 1927 landmark, but that’s been stalled the past couple of years.
