General Fund; FY2027 appropriation to Hinds County for the acquisition, demolition and/or removal of blighted properties.

SB 3359 appropriates $2 million from Mississippi's State General Fund to Hinds County for fiscal year 2027. The funds are specifically designated to cover costs associated with acquiring, demolishing, or removing blighted properties in Supervisor Districts 3 and 5. This direct funding mechanism enables Hinds County to address deteriorated properties in those areas without requiring local taxpayer contributions. The appropriation becomes effective July 1, 2026, and is intended to support local efforts to revitalize affected neighborhoods.
