Officials cut the ribbon on the Woolmarket City Center

Residents of the Woolmarket area of Biloxi have a new venue option for local gatherings.

Biloxi Mayor FoFo Gilich, Councilmember Nathan Barrett and other local leaders cut the ribbon this evening on the Woolmarket City Center.

The city transformed an existing building on Kayleigh Cove into a facility that now includes a Harrison County Library Branch and space for community meetings, parties, and other functions.

Mayor Gilich says this project has been a priority for his administration and reflects the growth of the surrounding area. “You look at the number of homes and the number of subdivisions that week by week there are a number of opportunities before the planning commission on what can be placed based on the local land and zoning. So, it’s certainly a place that’s bringing new homes and residents.”

Moving forward, citizens will have the opportunity to rent the community center space for events through the city.
