D’IBERVILLE, Miss. (AP) — The city of D’Iberville is working with developers of Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort to get the project open as soon as possible.
Hank Rogers, community development director, says the facility should open the first week in December. The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1iiY8zr) Rogers told city officials Tuesday the miniature golf course being built as part of the resort, however, many not be ready to open that soon.
Rogers says the city has had an inspector at the construction site full time and is setting up a process to grant temporary certificates of occupancy as each section of the hotel is complete. He says this is done at all casinos to allow them to start bringing in equipment and furniture while construction continues in other areas.
