This charrette process was a privately funded design effort aimed towards creative solutions in a post-Katrina enviornment for redeveloping an historic town on the Mississippi coast. Due to a lack of affordable insurance, available credit, and complicated development parcels, very few properties have been rebuilt in the town's core following the devestation of the hurricane. The goals that were developed, in addition to an updated masterplan, were to share public parking on private lots, target start-up businesses as incubators in the town center, and to reestablish the identity of Pass Christian as a tourist destination.
