Carrano said the development office is tracking “over a billion dollars worth of projects right now,” with what he described as about $2.8 million in estimated annual tax revenue tied to those projects and roughly $84 million in projected annual payroll. He told the board the mix of projects includes chemical, retail, metal manufacturing and maritime businesses and that many projects depend on infrastructure the county has helped provide.

Among specifics mentioned were Buc-ee’s (reported as more than $80 million in investment and opening events on June 9), NextEra Energy investments, a Canadian magnesium co‑location project under discussion with DOD components, and expansion by companies such as Seaman Composites. Carrano said some projects produced no direct revenue to the county because they were not sited on county‑owned land, but that the county’s work on interchange and rail access enabled the investments.

While Carrano presented the update, the board also considered several development commission resolutions on the agenda and approved them: an order approving the sale of approximately six acres of rural property (agenda item 57), approval of an assignment/assumption of a real estate purchase offer involving Metal Properties LLC (58), conveyance of a nonexclusive easement and related access agreement for Business Terminal LLC (approved as an easement access for a boat storage facility) and the sale of roughly a half acre to STS Properties LLC (60). Those items were moved, seconded and approved during the meeting.

Carrano said the county is pursuing rail improvements to accommodate a projected increase in rail traffic tied to PCC and other industrial activity and noted ongoing negotiations on incentive packages for some projects. He asked supervisors to remain engaged as the county pursues additional projects and federal advocacy for DOD‑linked manufacturing.","Colin Carrano gave a midyear update listing more than $1 billion in active projects tied to the PCC area, cited estimated annual payroll and tax revenue, and described several large investments including Buc-ee's, NextEra and a Canadian magnesium project; the board approved related property sales and easements on the agenda.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562608,"Paychex pitches HR, payroll and handbook updates to Harrison County supervisors",123,279000,402000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3270692-4d381ec5f49ce695c0e4c77480f66a29&start=279&end=402","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3270692-4d381ec5f49ce695c0e4c77480f66a29/thumbnail_279000.jpg","/articles/6562608/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Paychex-pitches-HR-payroll-and-handbook-updates-to-Harrison-County-supervisors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562608-a95e0fafc8242ed029d6b69bf9366929/orig.mp4?Expires=1775109223&Signature=VEDkWVTjwJ084nWuUlgKxvZw3hoohkrmb-lv9ijE7MVtKtvek5UelYnX6Ln5ArMMIEiOoDG15NrSdqdYyMzFSfZrsLNcHXJlQ~Pnsiz~ofL2R9GtvkuKjZwpOGh3Nmwl8vLhSZDF5Sn9PdM7mm9wQpV7kcGI9fh5C2~dLZR8bdnGyh7~EnvwJzx2JpD8c12qvosBdUToO559J6NfdR7dfGGaxwmpu9A8H0BAIAli1LCbubtBpUWfRnVE6391L6DCLkT5Or4gRzPgFVNn3YH--BTBG7nNnXg5yCA-Ogx1Yyw4wlBzlcpMxuiHqk-~EGDSTzln643VZ0OzDq~pg7M-Dw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Garrett Brown, a Paychex representative, presented options to Harrison County supervisors for updating the county’s employee handbook, job descriptions and payroll technology and offered ongoing HR support.

Brown told the board the county’s handbook “has not been touched since 2017,” said Paychex would provide a SHRM‑certified HR business partner to tailor materials to the county and described services from handbook updates and job‑description work to cloud‑based payroll and tax filings. “Everything is specific to you,” Brown said, describing the firm’s model of customizing materials rather than providing generic templates.

Board members and staff asked about how the payroll services would work and whether Paychex would manage tax reporting, year‑end filings and cloud access. Brown said the company could later provide an integrated technology relationship to collect time, manage HRIS records and handle payments, as well as quarterly and year‑end tax services.

County staff noted cost concerns with hiring labor counsel for a handbook rewrite in the past and indicated Paychex’s proposal could be more affordable. Several supervisors signaled interest and asked Brown to leave informational materials for county review. No procurement, contract award, or appropriation was made at the meeting.

Administrators asked Paychex to leave details for staff to evaluate and to follow up with the county for next steps.","A Paychex representative briefed the board on options to update Harrison County's human resources handbook, job descriptions and payroll systems, proposing SHRM‑certified support and cloud-based payroll services; the board expressed interest and asked for materials.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562613,"Harrison County supervisors agree to keep Coffee Creek outfall pavilion open to public and add rules, signs",150,104000,254000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3270692-4d381ec5f49ce695c0e4c77480f66a29&start=104&end=254","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3270692-4d381ec5f49ce695c0e4c77480f66a29/thumbnail_104000.jpg","/articles/6562613/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Harrison-County-supervisors-agree-to-keep-Coffee-Creek-outfall-pavilion-open-to-public-and-add-rules-signs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562613-4d416e0943d6884714a2501643a9ffd4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775109223&Signature=IRkwzJHFdXEnqIwO3EVZk5DX6HAvF~slfejpeOaAuOW3-7SZHvR3OumaTYW02iMECG2rI5wjPt~CCPcnf7F3eONUufTmLk1wHY4DBjbmxqW~kJg2pvRTrwUC3pHLxb~siRlLGi5-sBQUJdEssWWZUZHzRweeKaBHXOB~Z0aSbLCLFMOVwm3Y4CbkHck34PMvqGs~a7xq8j7ijkf~KsG8gxTp5qytbyPOleMh8LjiP69Ag2i7Rw08CHKwUrXfkH~~i2q2qRGQcRWeMmiBspRw7l6H53B-2AQoL1oqwlcEZT5zj2kTeiNrY6VchZvB-JmGrcAxrMfUM9uqdtAQFWXzNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Harrison County supervisors discussed how to manage a pavilion built on the Coffee Creek outfall and directed staff to post rules and signage clarifying public access.

The discussion began when Trey McKnight raised questions about how the county would administer the structure, whether it would be rentable like the Long Beach Pavilion and whether gates or closures would be needed. McKnight said the outfall structure “came over and capped and then built a pavilion out at the end of it” and asked whether the county intended to permit events there.

The board heard several comments favoring open public access. One supervisor said the pavilion was “paid by taxpayers, and anyone should be able to use it,” and another suggested a first-come, first-served rule with posted warnings. The board directed staff to have the road department produce signage with rules such as no glass and no alcohol, to consult the Bureau of Marine Resources about transferring the roof warranty, and to check with county legal staff about any permitting or rental rules.

No formal motion to adopt a rental policy was made. Instead the board treated the item as an operational direction: staff were instructed to post signage, adopt a first-come, first-served approach for general public use, coordinate with the Bureau of Marine Resources regarding warranty transfers, and work with legal on any permit/rental language.

The conversation closed with board members agreeing to monitor use and revisit the issue if problems arise. No changes to fee schedules or a formal rental permit were approved at the meeting.","Supervisors discussed how to manage a new pavilion at the Coffee Creek outfall now owned by the county and directed staff to post signage, adopt first-come, first-served access, and resolve warranty and legal questions with the Bureau of Marine Resources and county legal staff.","actionData","errors"]
