SB 2544 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

2024 Local Improvements Projects Fund; clarify and correct names and purposes of certain projects funded from.

SB 2544 amends an existing 2024 law to correct the names and purposes of specific projects funded from Mississippi's Local Improvements Projects Fund. It clarifies that $10 million will support Senatobia's downtown historic district infrastructure, $3 million will fund the Port of Pascagoula's North Rail Connector, and other allocations include $1.5 million for Lamar County's Lincoln Road Extension, $1.3 million for Lowndes County Sheriff's technology, and smaller amounts for fire departments, courthouses, and airport improvements across 20+ Mississippi counties and cities. The bill directly affects local governments, public safety departments, and community projects by ensuring funds are correctly directed to their intended uses. It makes no new policy changes but corrects administrative errors in the original appropriation list.
