GREATER BILOXI SUBDIVISION HISTORIC DISTRICT, BILOXI, HARRISON COUNTY, TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES The Greater Biloxi Subdivision Historic District, Biloxi, Harrison County, will be considered for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places by the Mississippi National Register Review Board at its meeting on Thursday, July 17, 2025. The meeting will be held in person in the 1st floor auditorium of the Charlotte Capers Building in Jackson beginning at 1:00 p.m. This meeting is open to the public. The Greater Biloxi Subdivision Historic District is roughly bounded by Greater Avenue to the north. To the east, the boundary is formed by Althea Street. The western boundary is formed by Orchid Street. The southern boundary is formed by Southern Avenue. The National Register of Historic Places is the country’s official list of buildings, sites, dis- tricts, and structures that merit preservation because of their significance in American history. Listing in the National Register results in the following for historic properties: 1. Consideration in planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation must be given an opportunity to comment on all federally related projects affecting listed properties. For further informa- tion see 36 CFR 800. 2. Eligibility for Federal tax provisions. The Federal Internal Revenue Code encour- ages the preservation of depreciable historic structures by allowing favorable tax treat- ments for rehabilitation and also provides for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures. For further information see 36 CFR 67. 3. Eligibility for State tax credits: (S.B. 27-7-22.31, 2006, 2014, 2021) Mississippi’s state historic preservation tax incentives program encourages the rehabilitation of histor- ic buildings. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History is responsible for the administration of the program, which provides for a state income tax credit equal to 25% of the qualified expenses of rehabilitating historic structures.
