Appropriation; City of Natchez for stormwater infrastructure projects.

HB 1703 allocated $5.45 million from Mississippi’s state general fund to the City of Natchez for specific stormwater infrastructure projects during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The funding directly supports three projects: $2.55 million for Roselawn Subdivision, $1.6 million for West Stiers Lane, and $1.3 million for Concord Avenue. The bill specified that state funds would cover project costs, with disbursement handled through the State Treasurer. This bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, meaning the appropriation was never enacted.
