Eagles Flock — City & County Benefits Summary

Fiscal impact summary for the City of Hattiesburg and Forrest County at full build-out of the 31-acre Eagles Flock project: 103 homes, 40-slip marina, 6-acre riverfront park, amphitheater, and commercial services. Estimates a combined $1.2M–$2.8M per year in recurring tax revenue and local economic activity from land that currently produces negligible public revenue. Breaks out ad valorem (residential and commercial), marina operations, kayak and canoe rentals, amphitheater and event revenue, food truck and vendor activity, utility revenue, and tourism economy. Covers one-time construction-period benefits — 50–150 jobs, 20–40 SIP-certified workers, $200K–$500K in permits and impact fees, $2M–$5M in local material and services spend — and grant positioning across MOST, LWCF, FEMA HMGP, EPA, USDA Rural Development, and EDA. References the Sims Road precedent and Hattiesburg's $11M parks investment track record since 2019. All figures conceptual, drawn from comparable projects and representative local rates, pending formal market studies.
