BILOXI, Miss. -- Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center officials are looking for a way to fund its continued expansion.
Executive director Bill Holmes and commission member C.T. Switzer appeared before the Harrison County Board of Supervisors on Monday to ask for access to the $7 million trust fund for capital improvements.
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1fnnEiM ) those improvements include purchasing nearby homes to make way for more parking and future development.
The commission has already purchased all but two end-pieces of property along Oakwood Drive to the northwest to make way for a 357-space parking lot.
The supervisors approved the request, with a stipulation that projects using the money must be brought before the Board to inform the public.
