General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Alcorn Agriculture Research and Extension for certain capital projects.

SB 2933 would have allocated $21.4 million from Mississippi's General Fund to Alcorn Agriculture Research and Extension for specific capital projects during fiscal year 2026. The funds were earmarked for Phase II of a Poultry Sciences building ($3.77M), agricultural infrastructure ($2.27M), a hydroponics greenhouse ($3.77M), and a STEAM Outreach Center ($11.92M). This bill, which died in committee on February 26, 2025, proposed a direct funding mechanism for physical infrastructure projects at Alcorn State University's agricultural research unit. It did not create new policy but provided budgetary support for defined construction needs.
