The developer of the proposed Tullis Gardens Casino has another year to buy an eight-acre site in east Biloxi from the city.
On Tuesday, the Biloxi Council voted to extend the option to buy the property at U.S. 90 and Howard Avenue for an additional year to Nov. 22, 2026. The extension comes with a payment of $25,000. The agreement also gives the developer the option to tack on up to three more one-year extensions.
The developer remains committed to the project.
“Tullis is here to stay, we are not going anywhere, and we’re going to build our hotel and casino,” said Luke Lenzi, CEO and partner of the casino.
