If you failed to buy one of the 700 tickets for Tuesday’s State of the City luncheon, you’ll still be able to see the mayor’s presentation. Doors to the sold-out Biloxi Bay Chamber luncheon at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino open at 11 a.m., with the program beginning at 11:30.
Text and photos from the mayor’s address will be on the city’s website Tuesday afternoon, and Cable One, as a public service, plans to air a recording of the address beginning Wednesday at 1 p.m. and repeat it hourly through Friday at 1 p.m. The State of the City will air on Channel 69 for those with digital boxes and on Cable 16 for those without digital boxes.
The mayor’s presentation will feature a 30-minute pre-recorded presentation, with more than 300 photos and video, with opening remarks from the podium before and after the recorded presentation.
Gilich plans to provide a report on several ongoing city initiatives, including the ongoing infrastructure work and the condition of streets in east Biloxi, the city’s unprecedented Tidelands and BP requests, progress on the Coastwide broadband effort, and his creation of a mayors forum to have a united front with other Coast leaders on issues.
