BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Plans are underway to revitalize a long-empty Biloxi building.
The planning commission in Biloxi has approved a zoning change that officials hope will result in the Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center being turned into a hotel.
The hospital closed near the end of 2007. WLOX reports (http://bit.ly/1rqhgch ) that a developer plans to convert the property into a 139 room hotel.
The Biloxi Planning Commission also recently approved a zoning change on Highway 90 at Hopkins Boulevard for another hotel project. City officials say developers want to build a LaQuinta Inn and Suites Hotel on the property.
Both zoning changes must win city council approval.
