Summary

Senate Bill 2997 is an appropriation bill that allocates $1,200,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Cleveland, Mississippi. The designated purpose for this funding is to support the North Industrial Site Flood Mitigation Project at the municipal airport for the fiscal year 2025.
