The executive director of the Mississippi State Port of Gulfport, Jonathan Daniels, has resigned following acceptance of the chief executive officer (CEO) and executive director’s post at Port Everglades in Broward County, in south Florida. Daniels took the reins at Gulfport in June 2013, when the port was in the middle of a $570M West Pier restoration and expansion funded by the federal government for economic development after Hurricane Katrina. The port’s Board of Commissioners plans a national search for a new director. (Source: Sun Herald 05/20/20)
