Overview: City of D’Iberville
The Beau Rivage Resort and Casino is the second largest employer in the City of Biloxi.
The city is continuing to grow, with many planned developments for the
future. One of the most successful developments is the Promenade Shopping
Center, which opened in 2009 and consists of 700,000 square feet of
commercial space. Additionally, the City is looking to add a new shopping
center west of I‐110 and south of I‐10. The shopping center, called Gulf Coast
Galleria, is intended to be a contemporary shopping destination on the Gulf
Coast and will include a hotel, shopping stores, and a dining and
entertainment complex. The city also acquired its first casino, the
Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort, in late 2015. The new casino employs
approximately 1,200 people. There are plans underway to redevelop the Old
Town into a mixed‐use development called the French Market. This will help
revitalize the area after the impacts from Hurricane Katrina and will bring in
more jobs to the city.
