Bill > HB1066

This bill transfers the administration of the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program from the Mississippi Development Authority to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, which will now oversee grants aimed at revitalizing communities. The maximum grant amount a community can receive annually has been increased from $500,000 to $750,000. Additionally, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History is now permitted to allocate up to two percent of the funds in the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program Fund to the Mississippi Main Street Association (MMSA) for administrative expenses related to its duties in the program. The MMSA is an organization that designates communities as "Main Street Designated Communities," which are eligible recipients for these revitalization grants.
