Pascagoula, MS

$5,950,000

Mississippi Associated Builders and Contractors Merit Award Winner 2025

The Jackson County Justice Court Building, located in Pascagoula, MS, is an 11,000-square-foot, facility constructed to serve as a vital hub for the county’s judicial system. Built on a 2.5-acre site, the project includes new utilities and parking for roughly 100 vehicles, ensuring accessibility for citizens and staff alike.

The building’s foundation was engineered for long-term stability, with 164 wooden piles driven 30 feet into the ground, tied together with pile caps, grade beams, and a slab-on-grade system. Structural integrity is further supported by approximately 22 tons of steel, complemented by metal stud-framed exterior walls and roof trusses. Durable finishes including stucco, brick veneer, cast stone, and a standing seam roof system provide both resilience and a civic presence appropriate for a facility of this importance.

Inside, the building houses two modern courtrooms, two holding cells, multiple judicial offices, and both criminal and civil clerk workstations. These features allow the court to handle cases efficiently and securely, while offering the public a professional, accessible space in which justice is carried out.

By combining sound engineering with community-focused design, the Justice Court Building strengthens Jackson County’s ability to deliver fair and timely legal proceedings. The facility not only enhances safety and functionality for staff and visitors but also reflects the county’s commitment to serving its residents through a justice system rooted in transparency, accessibility, and integrity.

“The Point” in Biloxi became home of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1925, housing personnel, patrol boats, high-speed picket boats, and a 165-foot cutter. In 1933 the Coast Guard moved to Pascagoula, and the former barracks and aircraft hangar became the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum and Point Cadet Plaza. Both facilities were destroyed in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina.

In 2012 work began to restore “The Point” to its former glory. Biloxi’s newest waterfront park project included a significant amount of sitework, beginning with the removal of the existing concrete parking lot and converting it to a beautiful green space, the construction of a new 10,000 square foot open-air pavilion resembling the old aircraft hangar and a new playground and splash pad. The park’s first phase was completed in December 2013. Phase 2 included the sitework for the neighboring Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, which was completed in July 2014.

Additional work was awarded for a single story steel framed structure and portable restroom facility as well as landscaping and irrigation.

In April of 1699, explorer Pierre LeMoyne Sieur d’Iberville sailed into Biloxi Bay, claiming the land for King Louis XIV and France, which is now known as Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On that site, d’Iberville founded Fort Maurepas which became the capital of the Louisiana Colony until 1702 when it was moved to Mobile, present-day Alabama.

This historic site was restored to reflect the outline of the original fort in the form of a cast stone seat wall surrounding a lawn area. Other features include a performing stage and a pavilion with an observation deck overlooking the gulf. A new playground and splash pad contribute to making this one of the finest public parks on the coast.
