QUALITY OF LIFE IS TOP PRIORITY
Things are looking bright for D’Iberville in 2020 and beyond. City Manager Clay Jones says, “We welcomed several new businesses to our community, adding to our over 500 existing businesses. D’Iberville also saw a double-digit percentage increase in gaming revenues and record-breaking sales tax collections.”

D’Iberville’s infrastructure also
saw some big upgrades in 2019, particularly through the completion of the Galleria Parkway and Popp’s Ferry Road Development Project and the groundbreaking of the city’s new police department.
The Galleria/Popp’s Ferry project was funded largely by the Mississippi
Development Authority, which contributed $40 million to roadway improvements, and has navigating D’Iberville easier for locals and tourists alike. The next phase of the roadway project includes relocating the east end of Popp’s Ferry Road to meet the new section of Popp’s Ferry Road that extends over I-110.
