The Ocean Springs Redevelopment Authority (OSRA) was established to act as the urban renewal and redevelopment agency for the City of Ocean Springs. It consists of five commissioners appointed by the Board of Aldermen. The OSRA has been granted the authority to operate within any Urban Renewal Zone, exercising the same powers as the Board of Aldermen. Given these broad powers, their actions should be open to public oversight. However, the city has deliberately chosen not to publish meeting agendas or minutes and has implemented a separate policy regarding Public Record Requests. As we work to obtain these meeting minutes, we will share them below.
