Danny Davis, 81st Mission Support Group commander, middle, and Charles Eastman, Million Air Gulfport-Biloxi general manager, left, during the Mississippi Coast Foreign Trade Zone dinner at The Great Southern Club, Jan. 31, 2018, in Gulfport, Mississippi. The FTZ No. 92 was established in 1983 and is made up of different companies that contribute to the Mississippi Gulf Coast economy. The annual gathering enables executives and board members of the various public entities and individual zone users an opportunity to come together in one place at the same time to learn more about zone-related activities and issues, and to hear from a guest speaker about other community-related activities, or FTZ and trade-related topics. As the guest speaker, Davis highlighted Keesler’s community partnerships as well as the increasing economic impact the base has on the Mississippi Gulf Coast economy.
