THE SEA COAST ECHO • HANCOCK TODAY
THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2000 » 21
Waveland
Two new community homes for developmentally-handicapped women also opened in the city in November.
The year 2000 has started with a bang and looks to be even better for the city.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the go-ahead for plans for an innovative new marina project at the foot of Coleman Avenue. A feasibility study was recently approved and must be completed before funding can be obtained. The marina, when built, will be one of the most environmentally-friendly projects of its kind. In conjunction with this location, expansion of the Garfield Ladner Pier project at the foot of Terrace will also continue.
Progressive new animal ordinances were passed which address the problems of owner responsibility, treatment of animals, and protection for both people and their pets from vicious animals. New shelter Director Curtis Quate kept his promise.
Renovation was also started on the Waveland Library and continues. The library was awarded a technology grant to buy computers for its adult literacy program

allowed the city to have its first Little League District Tournament in many years.
Renovation to the Civic Center began, manned largely by volunteers from the community.
Renovations to city hall to bring it up to standard for being handicapped-accessible will include an elevator, among other things.
Drainage, sewer, water and culvert projects are continuing with major drains being renovated in several locations already
A major break in a gas line was handled swiftly and with expertise by the city’s Public Works Department, whose employees worked round the clock to ensure that residents were not inconvenienced.
An upgrade to Nicholson Ave. in conjunction with the Mississippi Department of Transportation is expected to begin soon.
The Jackson Marsh Revitalization project is also expected to begin, as well as upgrades to lighting on Hwy. 90.
Everywhere you look, new businesses and homes are being built as Waveland, the “Hospitality city” continues to grow and thrive.
