West Central Mississippi Incubator Grant Program; establish with county governments, DFA and local development districts.

SB 2852 would have established the West Central Mississippi Incubator Grant Program to support new businesses and micro-enterprises in six specific counties: Humphreys, Madison, Sharkey, Sunflower, Washington, and Yazoo. The program would provide shared office space, reduced rents, business support services, and access to resources through partnerships with county governments, local development districts, and the Mississippi Development Authority. It aimed to help startups grow, create jobs, and strengthen the regional economy in West Central Mississippi. The bill was scheduled to take effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law.
