Pascagoula is rich in cultural heritage, so
it was important to preserve that. Through the collaboration of many key organizations, Downtown Pascagoula achieved recognition as the Scranton Historic District, a designation granted by the National Park Service. Achieving this status not only provided significant tax incentives, but
also ensured the preservation of the city’s unique character.
Our growth would not have been possible without the help of our major industry partners. We are fortunate to be known
as an industrial hub on the Gulf Coast
with businesses such as Singing River Health System, Bollinger Shipyards, Signet Maritime, Rolls-Royce, Oleo-X and more. Not only do these organizations support Pascagoula’s economy, but they invest in the
development of our community. Partners such as Chevron Pascagoula Refinery, Mississippi Power and Ingalls Shipbuilding all helped pave the way to success.
Today, Downtown Pascagoula stands
as a shining example of successful
urban planning and revitalization. With investments totaling over $67 million and the creation of 89 residential units, including 16 more in progress, the impact of this transformation is undeniable. The area, once dormant, is now a hub of activity, culture and community engagement.
