Rebuilding the Coast---Better than Ever.

On August 29, 2005, Hancock County, Mississippi's diverse and treasured resources were devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Thousands of homes and close to 1,000 businesses were either damaged or destroyed. Known as Mississippi's West Coast, close to 43,000 called the county and communities of Bay St. Louis, Clermont Harbor, Diamondhead, Kiln, Lakeshore-Ansley, Pearlington, and Waveland home. Prior to the storm, the area developed a regional reputation as a great place to live, work, play and retire because of its relaxed atmosphere, great food, diverse cultural activities and strong sense of place.

Over half of the Hancock County businesses were damaged or destroyed as were thousands of homes.

But our residents are resilient. The influx of cleanup and construction personnel is creating unlimited opportunities for old and new businesses alike. Jobs are plentiful in all areas of the economy. If you are looking for an opportunity, Hancock County is the place to be.

Our homes may not look as they did before but the rebuilding is moving forward and, before long, we’ll look better than ever.
