Before and since Katrina, Clermont Harbor has been in the news because developers want to build high-rise condominiums on the beach in the area. The Hancock County Board of Supervisors has already approved the Silver Slipper Casino nearby at Bayou Caddy and two condominiums very close to or in front of Clermont Harbor. Both of these projects appear to be proceeding[1] in spite of the lingering effects of Hurricane Katrina.
