Public Parks

In response to this post, I have some information to share. The county at present now owns 5 acres at the current fire station. When the PUD was in planning, Mr. Johnson agreed to donate 25 acres for the purpose of green space/public parks in St. Andrews/Pinehurst area. Of course, this is no longer available. The current county budget will allow about $50,000 to purchase land in the area. I have talked to Greg Williams and others about purchasing property and would be very interested in talking to the residents to see what they would want to do and would serve their best interests.
Sincerely,
John McKay

Amendment 1

It should be required that any changes in zoning for the St Andrews-Pinehurst-Ocean Beach area be first approved by the Smart Growth Commission and that the commission's plans be incorporated into the County's plans for growth in the county.

This is a state effort to develop a plan to sustain Mississippi?’s coastal resources and to provide for a healthy economy in the coastal area. It does not relate directly to smart growth in our neighborhood but the lessons learned by attending can probably be put to use in growing our area.
