HB 1633 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Site Development Grant Program; revise certain definitions.

HB 1633 revises key definitions for Mississippi's Site Development Grant Program, specifically clarifying "eligible expenditures" and "site development improvements." This affects counties, municipalities, and economic development entities applying for grants to improve industrial property. The bill defines eligible expenditures to include fees for consultants, contributions to infrastructure (like utilities or roads), and property acquisition costs, while "site development improvements" now explicitly cover drainage, transportation, utilities, and environmental mitigation. These revisions ensure consistent application of the program for projects on publicly owned or "optioned" industrial property.
