Housing authority mulling RV park, campgrounds unhappy

BILOXI — The Biloxi Housing Authority is considering building a recreational vehicle park on U.S. Highway 90.

Owners of other campgrounds in the city say they have been struggling since Hurricane Katrina and are just getting back on track from the oil spill. They don’t welcome more competition.

Bobby Hensley, director of the Biloxi Housing Authority, tells The Sun Herald if the campground is built, the Housing Authority will pay taxes like everyone else. And he said the campground would support public housing.

Hensley said the Department of Housing and Urban Development and federal government have told housing authorities they need to find ways to make money.
