Appropriation; City of Natchez for Concord Avenue Drainage Improvement Project.

HB 122 appropriates $2,263,275 from the state general fund to the City of Natchez for the Concord Avenue Drainage Improvement Project, directly affecting residents and infrastructure in that Natchez neighborhood. The bill funds three construction phases to improve drainage by lowering street elevation, adding drainage pipes, curb and gutter, and asphalt surfaces to capture storm runoff underground. The project aims to reduce flooding by moving water to natural drainage streams through physical infrastructure upgrades. This appropriation covers all costs for the fiscal year 2027 project timeline, with funds disbursed by the State Treasurer upon proper requisitions.
