Development News from the latest meeting
Meeting of the Southaven, Mississippi Mayor and Board of Aldermen - June 16, 2026
Published: Jun 16, 2026
Bids to be Sought for Mill Branch Roundabout
The board approved a motion to seek bids for the Mill Branch Roundabout. Further details regarding the project's scope or purpose were not provided in this excerpt.
158-Acre PUD Rezoning Approved with Rental Occupancy Restrictions
The board discussed and ultimately voted to approve a request to rezone approximately 158 acres of property on the north side of Dotto Road, between Highway 301 and Horn Lake Road, into a PUD (Planned Unit Development). The development will include 48.53 acres of common open space and a low-density residential subdivision with 2.08 dwelling units per acre. Specific details regarding home elevations, minimum heated square footage (1850-2000+ sq ft), lot sizes (10,000-30,000 sq ft), covenants (front yard trees, matching garage doors, no on-street parking), and guest parking were discussed. A key point of contention and discussion was the rental occupancy stipulation, with the planning commission initially proposing 12% and the board ultimately approving a 10% limit, with further discussion and concern voiced about initial occupancy by non-owner residents. The board also voted to add a stipulation restricting initial occupancy to owner-occupied units, though the developer raised concerns about flexibility for spec homes.
Long-Serving Economic Development Leader Jim Flanigan Honored Upon Retirement
The board acknowledged the upcoming retirement of Jim Flanigan from the Denot County Economic Development Council after 40 years of service. His contributions were lauded for bringing significant industrial developments to the county, which in turn stabilized the cost of living through increased tax revenue. The introduction of the new team, Billy Clauser (president and CEO) and Trip G (vice president of business development), was also made.
Beautification Enhancement Project Approved for State Line and 55 Ramps
The board approved a task order with Quality Landscape for a beautification enhancement project at the entrance ramps along State Line and 55. The project will involve landscaping to enhance the existing chain link fence. The task order amount is $102,456 and funds will be drawn from the tree bank, which is replenished by funds from tree removals.
Court Parking Contract with Region's Bank Terminated
The termination of a court contract with Region's Bank was approved. This contract was originally established years ago when the court had limited parking, requiring the leasing of parking spaces from Region's Bank. As the new court facility is now open and has adequate parking, the contract is no longer needed.
