On March 9, the City of Ocean Springs along with MDEQ, Senator Brice Wiggins, Representative Hank Zuber, and the YMCA hosted a community meeting to discuss the environmental challenges on the Leica Property. Senator Wiggins guided the discussion so residents had an opportunity to ask their questions. 

MDEQ led the discussion with a presentation and passed out a brief fact sheet.
