General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to MDOT for Town of Benoit for a walking trail.

SB 2990 appropriates $121,195.68 from Mississippi's General Fund for fiscal year 2027 to the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to cover construction costs for a walking trail in the Town of Benoit. The funds are specifically intended to serve as matching funds for federal Transportation Alternatives Program grants, which require state/local contributions. The bill authorizes MDOT to use these state funds to draw down federal dollars for the trail project, covering costs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This is a straightforward funding measure directly benefiting Benoit residents through improved local infrastructure.
