HB 938 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program; transfer administration of and revise certain other provisions.

HB 938 transfers administration of Mississippi's Main Street Revitalization Grant Program from the Mississippi Development Authority to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. It increases the annual grant limit per community (currently capped at $750,000) and allows the Department of Archives and History to allocate up to 2% of program funds to the Mississippi Main Street Association for administrative costs. The bill directly affects Mississippi communities with Main Street programs (including designated, network, and associate communities) seeking downtown revitalization funding. Key provisions clarify grant eligibility, matching fund requirements based on community size, and establish a dedicated state fund for the program.
