GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI
Strategy and operations consulting in Gulfport.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast combines naval shipbuilding in Pascagoula, casino resorts in Biloxi, two major military installations and a working port in Gulfport.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Gulfport.
Ingalls Shipbuilding, part of HII, builds Navy amphibious ships, destroyers and Coast Guard cutters in Pascagoula and is the coast's industrial anchor. Biloxi's casino resorts, including Beau Rivage and Hard Rock, lead hospitality, while Keesler Air Force Base and the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport add a substantial military presence. Chevron's Pascagoula refinery, the Port of Gulfport and NASA's Stennis Space Center in Hancock County broaden the industrial base, and seafood processing remains part of coastal life.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Gulfport management teams.
Hurricane risk and coastal insurance costs shape investment decisions for every business with property near the water. Shipbuilding suppliers face Navy schedule shifts and compete with Ingalls itself for welders, pipefitters and electricians. Casino and hospitality operators manage labour costs and competition from other Gulf Coast destinations.
