State of the City 2016

Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich, speaking to a standing-room audience in his first State of the City address, acknowledged the poor condition of roads under construction in east Biloxi and made two promises about the work: temporary paving is in the works for major thoroughfares, and residents and businesses would not see a repeat when the work progresses south of the CSX railway.

The roadwork was one of a litany of city issues the mayor discussed Feb. 16, 2016 during a 35-minute presentation that featured opening and closing remarks around a 30-minute video containing hundreds of photos and video of work from throughout the city and highlighting city departments and partner agencies.
