HB 939 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Main Street Revitalization Grants; revise FY25 appropriation bills for MDA and MDAH so that MDAH will make grants to certain designated communities.

HB 939 changes how Mississippi's Main Street Revitalization Grants are administered. It repeals previous language directing the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) to distribute these grants and instead requires the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to make the grants directly to designated Main Street communities for eligible projects. The bill reallocates funding by reducing the MDA's fiscal year 2025 appropriation while increasing MDAH's appropriation for this program. This shift in administration affects small towns in Mississippi that qualify as "Main Street" designated communities and receive these grants for local economic revitalization projects.
