Long Beach announces new $1.9 million purchase of beachfront property
LONG BEACH, Miss. (WLOX) – The city of Long Beach and the Land Trust for the Mississippi Coastal Plain celebrated a $1.9 million purchase for 32 acres of undeveloped beachfront property.
“Very excited to manage this property as an urban forest that is open to the public. So it’s going to be open from dawn to dusk for residents’ quiet enjoyment of nature. We will be doing a little bit of restoration work, getting rid of the invasions later in 2025.” said Sara Guice, Executive Director of the Mississippi Land Trust.
The purchase was made possible through financial support from the Angela J. Bowen Conservancy Foundation.
Mayor Bass says he’s thankful for the private landowner who worked with the MS Coastal Plain Land Trust to bring this to fruition.
Developers and owners say they are adding the signage on Monday, July 29th, along Highway 90 and the trails are open to the public.
