The Biloxi City Council will meet this morning at 11:30 to hear a proposal from representatives of the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum regarding $25,000 in matching funds for the Schooner Pier Complex and to unveil a proposal to rebuild the seafood museum.
A report in the Sun Herald Saturday said the museum would seek support to build a $15 million facility at the onetime site of Tullis-Toledano Manor, city property that was leveled by Hurricane Katrina.
The council also will hold its regularly scheduled meeting at 1:30 p.m.
Among the 13 measures on the agenda: a zoning map amendment to allow expansion of the existing 99-room the Holiday Inn near Rodenberg Avenue and for the hotel to become known as a Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Hotel, and several variances regarding construction of a Waffle House restaurant at 1759 Beach Boulevard.
Developers with a proposed condominium project at 2490 Beach Boulevard, site of the Grande View Apartments, have asked that their much-discussed proposal be withdrawn from the agenda.
