Appropriation; City of Laurel for costs of certain projects.

HB 1819 appropriates $13.85 million from the Mississippi state general fund to the City of Laurel for specific infrastructure projects during fiscal year 2027. The funds will directly support refurbishing three streets (6th Street from 8th to 16th Avenue, 6th Avenue from 5th to 13th Street, and 8th Avenue from 5th to 13th Street) and constructing a walking track and splash pad in Ward 4. The bill specifies exact dollar allocations for each project ($6.5M, $3.5M, $3.5M, and $350K respectively) and requires payment through state warrants. This is a straightforward funding measure with no new policy provisions, solely providing state financial assistance for local capital improvements.
