Applications for the 2026-2027 Mayor's Youth Council are now OPEN!

The City of Pascagoula is looking for well-rounded students who are passionate about being involved in the City.

Our hope is to provide members with a behind-the-scenes look at their City. Additionally, members will be able to aid in service initiatives to help community organizations, engage with city leadership and participate in various events.

The Pascagoula Mayor's Youth Council will be eligible for new members that are 11th grade students only. Additionally, 12th graders that have previously served on the council are eligible to reapply to serve again. Previous involvement does not guarantee you a spot on this year's council.

- Participate in all scheduled meetings. The Youth Council meets once a month August through April.

- Attend other meetings or events as opportunities arise

Progress in Pascagoula: Train Depot Courtyard, Railroad Avenue Parking Lot and Green Space Improvements Project Moving Forward!

Another exciting improvement is coming to Downtown Pascagoula as we continue building on the momentum created by the return of Amtrak service and the revitalization of our historic train depot. Last night, the Pascagoula City Council awarded the construction contract for the Train Depot Courtyard Project to JE Talley Construction, Inc.

This project will create a new Train Depot Courtyard along Railroad Avenue designed to serve as a welcoming outdoor space adjacent to the historic L&N Depot and the new depot development. Improvements will include curb and gutter, asphalt, sidewalks, stamped concrete, pipe bollards, stormwater inlets, stormwater pipes and other features that will enhance both the appearance and functionality of the area.

Additionally, the project will also feature the construction of a new parking lot and greenspace at the corner of Frederic Street and Railroad Avenue. This portion of the project will add 40 new parking spaces and create a new outdoor gathering space for future Pascagoula events.

Construction is expected to begin soon and will take approximately 120 days to reach substantial completion. These improvements complement the ongoing transformation of the depot, where developer Joe Cloyd is working to bring and a new restaurant and Chandeleur Island Brewery to this historic landmark. Together, these investments are helping create an exciting gateway into Downtown Pascagoula and enhancing the experience for residents, visitors and passengers arriving by train.
