Biloxi council approves Black Marlin Casino zoning change
Licences & markets · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
The Biloxi City Council approved a zoning change for the proposed Black Marlin Casino. The vote allows removal of 28 protected trees at the Mississippi waterfront site, with developer RW Development required to plant 209 replacements, contribute to the city tree fund or both. The project still needs state licensing before the Mississippi Gaming Commission's site approval expires on 22 December 2026.
Why it matters
The developer still needs Mississippi Gaming Commission licensing before the site approval lapses, leaving the project's opening dependent on state approval.
