Biloxi Cemetery Restoration

City of Biloxi:

"The City of Biloxi is aiming to kick off the New Year with a project that will
restore the oldest and most storm-ravaged section of one the oldest landmarks in
the city, the Biloxi City Cemetery. The $300,000 project will see repairs made to more than 200 headstones and 10 tombs in the beachfront cemetery. Dozens of gravesites, some dating back to the early 1800s, were ravaged by Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29. The city, which is awaiting final FEMA approval on the project, has been coordinated with FEMA, MEMA and with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. "
