This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, while also expressing our gratitude to the active-duty service members, veterans, and military installations that continue to protect and strengthen our nation every day. Harrison County is proud to be home to many of these brave men and women who serve our country with honor and dedication.

Join us in remembering their service, honoring their sacrifice, and thanking those who continue the mission of defending our freedoms. 🇺🇸

Congratulations to our partners at the Port of Gulfport for being awarded $11.25 million in grant funding through the 2025 Port Infrastructure Development Program.

This significant investment will enhance Harrison County’s infrastructure and increase the competitive advantages our region offers to existing industries as well as future economic development opportunities.

We are proud to support the continued growth at the port and celebrate this important achievement for Coastal Mississippi.
