HB 1460 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Small Municipalities and Limited Population Counties Fund; increase grant amounts awarded from.

HB 1460 would raise the maximum grant amount from $250,000 to $1 million for small municipalities (under 10,000 residents) and limited population counties (under 30,000 residents) using the Small Municipalities and Limited Population Counties Fund. The bill modifies the existing fund's cap to allow larger grants for infrastructure projects like roads, utilities, or equipment upgrades. It was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died there on March 4, 2025, meaning it did not become law. This change would directly affect eligible small towns and counties seeking state funding for local projects.
