Open dealerships. A truck stop going up.
The corridor is already winning.

The Hwy 63 corridor shows what the rest of Moss Point can do. Tractor Supply opened April 26, 2025. The ribbon was cut. The registers are running. The sales tax is flowing. This is a functioning retail anchor on a corridor that still has adjacent parcels available.

Cannon's Toyota, Nissan, and Honda dealerships are open and operating, with the Ford store under construction now. A Raceway travel center is going up on the corridor, a $2M build. The Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram site sits cleared and graded, ready to build. This is a retail cluster forming in real time, not a plan on paper.

A corridor with a national retailer operating and a dealership row open for business works like an open-air retail center at highway scale. The anchor tenants are in place. The adjacent parcels capture overflow traffic from one of the busiest corridors in Moss Point, and the employees and customers those anchors bring are already on the road. Hospitality, food service, fuel and convenience, and auto-adjacent services all have real demand on the corridor right now.

The risk profile here is different from every other opportunity in Moss Point. The demand is proven. The anchors are committed. The question is which investor moves first on the remaining adjacent parcels.

Where Hwy 63 crosses the Escatawpa, the corridor changes character. Right on the water, near the bridge, the retail anchors give way to working waterfront: the menhaden plant that has run on this river for generations, the shipyard that builds and repairs the boats that work the Gulf, and a large waterfront tract that sits open and ready for the next operator.

Omega Protein, through its Daybrook operation, processes menhaden on the Escatawpa. It is one of the longest-running industries in Moss Point and among the city's largest employers, a working plant on the river that has anchored this end of the corridor for decades.

Beside it, Omega Shipyard builds and repairs the vessels that fish the Gulf, a full drydock and boatyard on the water. And the former Halter Marine yard, a large riverfront industrial tract, now sits open: a rare piece of deep-water working waterfront, ready for the next shipbuilder or marine manufacturer.
