State port director Jonathan Daniels told a business crowd Tuesday in Gulfport that 250 jobs expected from expansion of port tenant Island View Casino Resort will not count toward 1,300 jobs the port has to create in exchange for federal assistance after Hurricane Katrina. Daniels said at a Gulfport Chamber of Commerce breakfast that the port has created 425 of the total jobs required in exchange for $570 million in federal funds that have been used since 2008 to restore and expand the West Pier.
