Mission Statement
Gulfport Main Street Association is a nonprofit organization that has been instrumental in the rebuilding and revitalization of Downtown Gulfport. The district is dedicated to redeveloping in a sensible manner that ensures long-term viability. Our Four-Point Approach simultaneously focuses on organization, design, economic vitality, and promotions.
Gulfport is bringing so many fresh happenings downtown! One of the most exciting highlights is the reopening of the historic Markham Hotel. Originally opened over 100 years ago, this beautifully restored landmark is coming back as a luxury experience, proving just how important historical preservation is to our Mississippi Main Street communities.
Gulfport is also looking ahead with the groundbreaking of Channel South, building continued growth and development in the area.
There’s plenty of local fun too! Gulfport features great community promotions like the Downtown Egg Hunt, bringing the community together and supporting local businesses.
Make your way to Gulfport to enjoy all the amazing developments taking place!
