FunTime USA Site Approved

FunTime USA is a go. In a decision Thursday evening, the Gulfport Planning Commission approved the development of the amusement park.
The commission voted 7 to 2 for approval after hearing from both supporters and opponents of the development.
The park will cover about seven acres on the corner of Cowan Road and Highway 90.
A small group of residents just north of the development site have opposed FunTime USA. They fear it will devalue their properties.
Unless the residents file an appeal, construction is slated to begin as early as June and will take three to four months to complete.
