Summary

House Bill 4097 is a legislative proposal aimed at facilitating the development of a community center in the Town of Pocahontas, located within Hinds County, Mississippi. The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 from the State General Fund to assist the Board of Supervisors of Hinds County in covering the costs associated with the construction project.
