Today, we had the incredible opportunity to spend the morning with a few downtown business owners, Gulfport city Mayor Billy Hewes and Senator Roger Wicker! We discussed the exciting return of Amtrak to downtown Gulfport and how it will transform our community.

The reintroduction of Amtrak means more than just convenient travel; it’s a game-changer for our local economy! 🚄💼 With increased foot traffic, we’re looking at a surge in tourism, new job opportunities, and a revitalized downtown that will benefit local businesses.

Let’s embrace this moment and work together to make Gulfport a destination for all! The future looks bright, and I can't wait to see the positive impact this will have on our city! 🌟
