Bidding open on Swingster property

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. – Bidding is open for the old Swingster property in Ocean Springs. Developers can now pitch their ideas for the 2.1 acres of property in downtown. The county says the minimum bid is $1 million, and the higest bidder wins it all. Ocean Springs Mayor Connie Moran hopes whoever wins big brings something in to continue growing the budding downtown eastward. The C2 zoning means the property could be used for things like office space or a neighborhood shopping center, but not for something like a residential complex. (Source: WLOX, 03/14/17)
