Old city hall building finally begins repair work after Hurricane Katrina

The aged Moss Point City Hall building in Mississippi was damaged by the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. Work will finally begin to rehabilitate the building, so city employees can again work in the building instead of in trailers—where they will remain while recent city offices are being constructed.

The project manager from Broaddus as well as Associates said that the architects are working with asbestos abatement as well as mold remediation specialists to begin hazardous materials cleanup by unhurried November or beginning December. Sheetrock will possess to be pulled out, as well as repainting will as well as need to take place. The project is being funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The recent City Hall site broke ground back in August, as well as construction will take approximately one year. Moss Point does not yet know what it will do with the aged City Hall building after the employees move to the recent one. The city will be receiving almost $12 million for downtown redevelopment from the Mississippi Development Authority, which includes the construction of the recent City Hall, a fire station, repairs to the marina as well as river boardwalk, as well as reconstruction on Main Street.
