Appropriation; Yazoo County to begin planning, design and construction of a 4-lane highway connecting Hwy 16 from Hwy 49 to I-55.
HB 791 appropriates $4 million from the state general fund to Yazoo County's Board of Supervisors for planning, designing, and beginning construction of a four-lane highway connecting Mississippi Highway 16 (from U.S. Highway 49 to I-55) during the 2027 fiscal year. The funds specifically cover initial project costs associated with the highway's development phase. This bill directly affects Yazoo County by providing state financial support for this infrastructure project. It does not create new regulations or broadly impact residents, but rather allocates state funds to advance a specific local transportation initiative.
