Appropriation; City of Natchez for Concord Avenue Drainage Improvement Project.

Impact

The funding allocated by this bill will be used to cover numerous improvements, including the removal of existing surface materials, excavation of current infrastructure, and the installation of drainage pipes designed to move water underground to a natural drainage stream. The project will be executed in three phases, each designated to ensure that the stated construction goals are achieved systematically, thereby enhancing the drainage capability of Concord Avenue and its surrounding areas.

Summary

House Bill 552 is a legislative measure aimed at making an appropriation of $2,263,275 to the City of Natchez, Mississippi. The funds are specifically earmarked for the Concord Avenue Drainage Improvement Project for the fiscal year 2025. This measure is essential for supporting local infrastructure improvements, particularly drainage systems critical for managing storm runoff and preventing flooding in the area.

Contention
