Moss Point and Grand Bay Reserve Partner on Stormwater Park Project
What happened
The City of Moss Point is partnering with the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve to create a stormwater park. The park will be built on a vacant lot located behind St. Joseph Catholic Church. The project is designed to capture stormwater and filter out pollutants before they reach local waterways.

Why it matters
Moss Point's aging drainage system struggles to handle heavy rainfall, leaving neighborhoods vulnerable to flooding. The park is intended to reduce flooding and improve water quality by filtering runoff through plants and soil. This initiative addresses infrastructure challenges and environmental concerns in the region.
