Biloxi Boardwalk gets Mississippi site approval

The Mississippi Gaming Commission gave site approval to the proposed Biloxi Boardwalk Casino & Resort.  It's the first in a series of approvals required for the casino proposed by Louisiana businessman Chris Ferrara. Biloxi Boardwalk would be the 10th casino in Biloxi and 13th on Mississippi's coast. It used to be a Heinz pet food factory and Ferrara bought the 37 acres and 185,000 square-foot building in 2000 after the factory closed.
