General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Town of Pickens for certain infrastructure projects.

SB 2982 proposed appropriating $760,000 from Mississippi's General Fund to the Town of Pickens for specific infrastructure projects during fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). The funds would cover road/resurfacing repairs on Union Street ($300,000), water system upgrades including pumps and Highway 17 booster station ($300,000), city hall renovations on Yazoo Street ($60,000), and park improvements ($100,000). The bill, referred to the Appropriations Committee in February 2025, died there without further action. This was a direct funding allocation for Pickens' local infrastructure needs, not a policy change.
