The city of Gluckstadt issued the following statement.
On behalf of the City of Gluckstadt, Mayor Walter Morrison is pleased to announce that the City has obtained two acres of land to construct a building for our Police Department and Municipal Court. Presently, the Police Department and Municipal Court are housed at City Hall.
“Last legislative session, the legislature appropriated $1,000,000 for this purpose. I want to especially thank Speaker Philip Gunn, Lieutenant Governor Hosemann, Senators Walter Michel, Josh Harkins, Briggs Hopson and Representatives Jill Ford, Karl Oliver and John Read. Without their hard work and dedication to helping the City get started, none of this would have been possible,” stated Mayor Morrison.
“The two-acre parcel of land was obtained from developer Anthony Morrison, who is of no relation to me. Anthony sold the City one acre of land at his cost and graciously donated a second acre at no cost to the City. This exhibits Mr. Morrison’s commitment to our City, his desire that the City grow and prosper and his willingness to forgo immediate profit for the greater good of the City. I cannot thank Mr. Morrison enough for his generosity.”
Mr. Anthony Morrison adds, “My wife Alexa and I are thankful to be at a point in our lives to be able to make a donation like this that will continue to serve the community for years to come. The safety of the people that live in Gluckstadt as well as the businesses that operate here is vital to the continued growth and prosperity of the city. As both developers and business owners who plan to be here long term the decision to make this donation was an easy one for us.”
The City hopes to break ground on the new Police Department and Municipal Court after the new year.

If your wealth is via fraud, then giving back the wealth is not considered generosity.
Suckin hard on that gubmint teat already?!
Oh snap
Will this building look like a giant tool shed? Everything else in the Gluck does.
What is wrong with you people?
That's cool but it's who the occupants are that's important. Good government can operate from just about any building.
Great statement by the mayor and generous donation by Mr. Morrison and wife. What a super thing. I hope and think Gluckstadt will continue to be the city that its citizens built. Superb!
3:48 ALL gov't buildings should look like sheds. I have a problem when I walk in to a grand entrance with marble floors, quartz or marble-top counters/tables and the best and latest in all office and waiting room furnishings... all paid for with tax dollars.
Oh good. More government. Hope they can raise taxes soon!
Can they exclude the apartments that will be Section 8 housing by 2035? No matter, the little darlings will be robbing, raping and shooting whether in the city or not.
Where in Gluckstadt?
Thank you Me Morrison for making a great contribution to help the new City of Gluckstadt!
Thd first thing a city's gotta do is start handing out tickets and collecting fines
The people making these comments must not be getting the government holiday tomorrow. Happy Veterans Day.
Why can’t they pay for their own damn buildings. Republicans at the State are no better than liberals.
Me thinks 6:11pm must have visited our Rankin County School District headquarters with his description. It would have been nice if Gluckstadt had told us where the location of the new compound will be.
One million per acre?
Wowzer!
Let's play a game: How many of the above posts were entered by the same clown. You get two guesses. Go.
PS: Sorry your loan was denied. Try Canton.
More government. Yippee.
Summa you fools actually don't think a city needs a facility to house these necessary government divisions? If the city had used your tax money to purchase the property you'd bitch about that too.
If somebody or another municipality donates a fork-truck or a bulldozer, get out your poster-paper and magic markers and hit the streets.
You knuckle heads obviously don't understand or realize it is usually customary for NEW cities to receive assistance to start departments and services
Also $$$$$ are allocated every year to cities statewide. IT is normal!
The legislators for those areas take the lead as they should.
The law states the Cities have to provide certain services in their municipal limits.
Did you complain when $ were allocated to Diamondhead or Ocean Springs years ago?
Doubt it.
Pay attention and understand the process.
It would save the rest of us time reading your uneducated comments.
For the record- All reports are public. The City of Gluckstadt entry is there with many other local funds allocated. Page 21... http://www.lbo.ms.gov/pdfs/2022_leg_sesn_sum_3.pdf
Stay tuned! More $$$ just may be sent to Gluckstadt next year! You are gonna wet your pants!
Like I said, no signs of intelligent life on this board, whatsoever. Just corrupted sperm and disgusting-looking eggs.
Comprehension problems among your readers, Kingfish. Or maybe it's just damn meanness.
This. Is. Good. News.
It warrants positive responses.
I do not live in Gluckstadt, but I applaud their successes thus far and wish the City and new businesses much success.
Glad we incorporated before the Board could screw up the jumble any more than already.
@611
Amen to that!
6:11 has been to Lynn Fitch's office, not any municipal building.
It's a very exciting time here in Gluckstadt.
Now I hope we can really start planting some trees in my neighborhood and that my HOA approves me painting my mailbox a different color.
I always get confused about which house is mine because my neighbor, Brayleigh's looks the same!
We always used to have a big laugh about this with my other buddies John Luke and Mayden Lynn. We miss them. They had to move away because the two loans on their Polaris side-by-sides and golf cart just got to be too much. I told him not get a golf cart--he's never even played the golf ball sport in his life!
I'm so proud of everyone for ignoring the troll.
Good job all.
