On July 28, 2026, the Pascagoula City Council voted to approve an amended agenda that added a resolution to seek Gulf Coast Restoration Fund support for the Lowery Island Marina Project. The amendment was moved by Councilwoman Amy Brandenstein and seconded by Councilman Chris Blythe and passed on a recorded voice vote.
The Pascagoula City Council voted July 28 to approve an amendment to its agenda to add a resolution authorizing submission of a Lowery Island Marina Project application to the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund (GCRF). Councilwoman Amy Brandenstein made the motion to accept the amended agenda; Councilman Chris Blythe seconded the motion and the council recorded five "AYE" votes with two members absent.
The amendment specifically added "Item 3 (Resolution Approving Submission of the Lowery Island Marina Project Application for the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund (GCRF) Program)," a measure City Manager Justin Larsen placed on the agenda. The motion passed with Mayor Jay Willis, Councilwoman Brandenstein, Councilman Carlos Stallworth, Councilwoman Darcie Young and Councilman Blythe recorded as voting "AYE." Councilmen Felix Fornett and Matt Parker were absent.
City Manager Justin Larsen presented the Lowery Island item for placement on the agenda; the resolution itself was later presented in the meeting's order of business.

The council did not take a final documented vote on the Lowery Island application during the workshop portion of the meeting; next procedural steps and any formal vote on submission were not specified in the record.
