Bill > HB135

This bill appropriates $2,263,275.00 from the State General Fund to the City of Natchez, Mississippi, specifically to fund a comprehensive Concord Avenue Drainage Improvement Project for fiscal year 2026. The project will be implemented in three distinct phases, with each phase having a specific construction cost: Phase I at $829,660.00, Phase II at $716,807.50, and Phase III at $716,807.50. The drainage improvement work will involve multiple infrastructure enhancements, including removing existing surface materials, excavating and lowering street elevation, adding granular material and asphalt surface, and installing new curb, gutter, and drainage pipes designed to capture and redirect storm runoff underground to a natural drainage stream. The State Treasurer will distribute the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition, and the appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, allowing the city to proceed with this critical infrastructure project to improve local drainage capabilities.
