Mississippi has initiated a $30 million beach restoration project in Hancock County, aiming to restore the shoreline to its original 200-foot width for the first time since the 1960s. Funded primarily through the 2022 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the project will be overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and includes activities such as beach widening, berm construction, and dune planting, with expected completion by summer 2026.
