BILOXI Miss. -- The Biloxi Housing Authority is considering building a recreational vehicle park on U.S. 90, east of Beauvoir and the Kangaroo gas station. Owners of other campgrounds in the city said they have been struggling since Hurricane Katrina and are just getting back on track from the oil
spill. They don’t welcome more competition. “The Housing Authority should be for people that need housing,” said Jonathan Mikovich, who operates the nearby Cajun RV Park on U.S. 90 with his family. “Our tax dollars are going to compete against us,” said his wife, Susan Mikovich.
Bobby Hensley, director of the Biloxi Housing Authority, said there is another side to the story. He said if the campground is built, the Housing Authority will pay taxes like everyone else. And he said the campground would support public housing. continued Page 2
