SB 2759 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Economic Development and Infrastructure Fund; amend.

SB 2759 amends Mississippi's Economic Development and Infrastructure Fund to allow state funds to support FAA-certified commercial airports (Part 139 airports) for improving air service. It specifically authorizes grants using methods like revenue guarantees and seat cost mitigation to attract new or expanded flights, aiming to boost economic development, workforce access, tourism, and business growth. The bill removes prior provisions related to counties with legal gaming and mandates that airport grants come from a separate legislative appropriation. This bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
