Bill > HB1703

This bill provides a state appropriation of $5,450,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Natchez for stormwater infrastructure projects during the fiscal year 2025-2026. The funds are specifically allocated to three distinct projects: $2,550,000 for the Roselawn Subdivision Stormwater Infrastructure Project, $1,600,000 for the West Stiers Lane Stormwater Infrastructure Project, and $1,300,000 for the Concord Avenue Stormwater Infrastructure Project. The State Treasurer will disburse the funds upon receiving warrants from the State Fiscal Officer, and the bill specifies that these warrants will be issued after being requisitioned by the appropriate city officials. The appropriation is aimed at helping the City of Natchez improve its stormwater management infrastructure, which can help prevent flooding, reduce erosion, and manage water runoff more effectively. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, marking the start of the fiscal year for which these funds are designated.
