BSL 2045

What is it?

The City of Bay Saint Louis has commissioned the development of a new comprehensive city plan: Bay St. Louis 2045. The plan is being developed by the City of Bay St. Louis, guided by staff, and facilitated by the planning team of Orion Planning + Design (www.orionplanningdesign.com) and Arnett-Muldrow and Associates (www.arnettmuldrow.com).

Bay St. Louis represents one of the most unique and attractive small cities in the Gulf Coast region and is experiencing significant change. Bay St. Louis 2045 will seek to chart a course for the future through a comprehensive city planning process to be carried out in four steps over the next 12 to 14 months. These steps include:

Step 1. Studying and analyzing Bay St. Louis's current community conditions, including population, growth prospects, economy, natural environment, development patterns, attractiveness, and mobility,
Step 2. Creating an inspiring vision of Bay St. Louis's future and the community values, planning principles, and long and short-term goals needed to achieve it,
Step 3. Developing a blueprint for achieving that future,
Step 4. Creating achievable community implementation strategies that will move the city towards its desired future.

Community participation is vital for achieving the best outcomes of the planning process. An advisory group is guiding the development of the plan, and multiple opportunities for meaningful and engaging community input will be planned.
