Appropriation; City of Natchez for stormwater infrastructure projects.

HB 16 would have provided $5.45 million in state funds to the City of Natchez for three specific stormwater infrastructure projects: Roselawn Subdivision ($2.55M), West Stiers Lane ($1.6M), and Concord Avenue ($1.3M), covering fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The bill directed the State Treasurer to disburse funds upon proper requisitions to cover project costs. This appropriation directly affected Natchez city authorities and residents in the designated neighborhoods by supporting drainage infrastructure upgrades. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted into law.
