NATCHEZ — The Natchez Mayor and Board of Aldermen face a lengthy agenda at its first June meeting on Tuesday, including anticipated discussion on the proposal of a new noise ordinance and discussion of security at local bars.

The meeting is being held at the NAPAC building, 201 Main St., at 11 a.m. Natchez Mayor Dan Gibson said the city works to hold a meeting a year at the NAPAC building.

“We started that our first Juneteenth in office and this will be our third meeting there,” Gibson said.

The public is invited to join the meeting in person, or can view it via the City of Natchez Facebook page or streaming live on YouTube.

In addition to the approval of minutes and financial dockets, the mayor is expected to provide updates on a number of projects under way here, or those that will soon be under way, including:
