August 29th 2005, not a great day if you happen to live on the gulf coast states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. On that day, arguably the worst hurricane to hit the gulf coast came ashore. Hurricane Katrina roared in with 150+ mph winds and a tidal surge that towered over the buildings that it was about to crush.      So the cleanup began. The American Red Cross, the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, the national Guard, and thousands of huge hearted volunteers arrived. The chore of clearing debris made even more difficult by the knowledge that as the next remnant of a home or vehicle unturned may reveal another who didn't get escape.In the months that followed, government officials began addressing the issue of rebuilding. Ideas of housing, grant programs, architectural styles ...

PASCAGOULA --Irwin F. Edenzon, the new sector vice president over Northrop Grumman's Gulf Coast shipyards, said last week his role will be to support his workers so that they can build the best ships possible. But a priority will be to recruit workers."We need to be able to find, recruit and retain a good work force," Edenzon said. "We need more people. And how do we make sure the ones that are here stay and continue doing a good job? And how do we go into the community and into the state to recruit people to come here to work?"I'd be guessing, but I could use 400 to 500," he said"In an appeal to business and government leaders in Jackson County, Northrop Grumman Ship Systems President Philip Teel said the Ingalls shipyard needs workers to keep up with the $9 billion backlog of Navy shi...

So does anyone think that a need doesn't exist along the Mississippi gulf coast for housing? Take a look at an excerpt of this months article from The Journal;"The state of Mississippi has determined that there are still 40,000 homes to be rebuilt in order to bring its six southernmost counties up to their pre-Katrina count. Based on a (2005) pre-Katrina population of 445,375 individuals in the six coastal counties of Pearl River, Hancock, Stone, Harrison, George and Jackson, this figure places the number of standing homes before Katrina at about 110,000. State estimates indicate that 2_ years later, the 40,000 are still not livable - they remain either as slabs from water damage or crippled by excessive wind damage to walls, ceilings and roofs."The entire article can be found here. Wha...

With tax season here, could you be thinking "I could have done better?" Look at the "GO Zone".The two year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina went by, many media outlets are featuring articles and reports (MSNBC, Rising from the Ruin) reminding us how devasting that storm was by documenting the hardships of the rebuilding process in the Gulf region, a process that for some is taking far too long. Most people read or watch these reports and articles then look at the pictures and think to yourself, "could this truly be our country?". The answer is yes, this is our country. More importantly, what can we do about it?Very few people know that following the devastation left in the wake of katrina there are investment incentives made available by the federal government that allow you to invest i...
