Pam Nichols, who identified herself as a resident at 648 Hood Avenue, told the Harrison County Commission during the public‑comment period that an old Chrysler building near her home has begun collapsing and that the neighborhood has been affected.
Nichols said she and her family have lived at the address for nearly 20 years and that the collapse left them with limited information and support. She said county planning staff initially informed her that she would need to move and that there had been promises of relocation assistance but no concrete help; after repeated delays and a second collapse she said her family now faces difficulty securing short‑term housing and may be at risk of losing their home.
Nichols asked the commission to make sure her house and the nearby "house on the hill" receive as much attention in Phase 2 of planning as the collapsing building. She described Peggy Bailey (a county staffer mentioned in her remarks) as her only source of help and said other channels had not provided information she could rely on.
Ending: The item was heard as public comment; the transcript does not record an immediate county action in response. Nichols asked the commission to prioritize her property in Phase 2 planning to reduce the risk of homelessness for her family.
