OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - Ocean Springs Mayor Connie Moran is looking far and wide for money to place security cameras on the Biloxi Bay Bridge.
Moran tells WLOX-TV in Biloxi (https://bit.ly/1D0G98j ) that her city doesn’t have the $10,000 to buy the cameras.
Authorities are continuing to investigation the sexual assault of a woman ion the bridge five months ago.
Moran wants two cameras - one for each end of the bridge.
Moran says the project is an opportunity to solicit corporate sponsors and allow the public to participate.
She is working with the citizens group Gulf Coast WAVE, which stands for Women Against Violence Everywhere, to organize a bridge walk fundraiser.
Moran is also reaching out to the City of Biloxi and local businesses to help pitch in for the camera system.
