A casino resort whose construction had been proposed for Long Beach has been delayed for a long time. But Mississippi’s Supreme Court recently cleared the construction of Parrish’s Restaurant & Lounge.
The restaurant’s owner intends to broaden his tidewaters lease agreement with Mississippi across Highway 90 to develop a casino resort in the state. Jim Parrish, a local realtor, has constantly sought approval from the state since 2018 to develop a $180 million casino resort near Long Beach Harbor.
Besides owning Parrish’s Restaurant & Lounge, he owns property on Beach Boulevard, across Highway 90. The realtor wants to construct the gaming venue on the land north of U.S. Highway 90.
