Appropriation; Marshall County for completing preliminary studies on certain road and bridge projects.

HB 1714 would appropriate $800,000 from Mississippi's State General Fund to Marshall County's Board of Supervisors for preliminary planning studies on three infrastructure projects: the Potts Camp Railroad Bridge and Bypass, Byhalia Railroad Bridge, and Red Banks Road Improvement. The funds would cover costs for engineering, environmental impact, and cultural resource assessments during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). This bill directly supports Marshall County's planning efforts for these specific road and bridge projects. It is a funding measure, not a policy change, and did not advance beyond committee in February 2025.
