2023 Local Improvements Projects Fund; revise purpose of project in Town of Terry funded from.

HB 1288 revises the allocation rules for funds in Mississippi's 2023 Local Improvements Projects Fund, changing which specific projects receive disbursements. The bill modifies Section 28 of Chapter 549 to redirect $1.5 million previously designated for a project in the Town of Terry toward other local infrastructure and community projects across the state. Key allocations include $2 million for Pascagoula City Hall upgrades, $1.8 million for George County's Basin-Barton Multipurpose Facility, $1.5 million for Itawamba County Courthouse repairs, and funds for fire stations, road improvements, and community centers in multiple counties. This bill directly affects local governments, schools, and community organizations by altering how existing state funds are distributed for physical infrastructure and public services. (Note: The bill title references the Town of Terry, but the revised fund allocation does not include Terry in the listed projects.)
