Impact

The bill facilitates necessary infrastructure improvements in Attala County by providing direct financial assistance for the replacement of an aging bridge. By ensuring the availability of funds for this project, the state aims to enhance public safety and contribute to the overall transportation network in the region. The replacement of Bridge No. 04-002 is essential for maintaining connectivity and supporting local economic activities, as the bridge plays a crucial role in transport and logistics.

Summary

House Bill 1998 is an act that proposes an appropriation to the Board of Supervisors of Attala County, Mississippi, aimed at financing the replacement of Bridge No. 04-002 located on County Road 4002. The proposed appropriation amounts to $3,192,000, which is intended to cover costs associated with the bridge's replacement during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025.
