City of Greenwood; authorize to establish a Vacant and Abandoned Structures Registration Program.
HB 4037 authorizes the City of Greenwood, Mississippi, to create a program requiring property owners to register vacant and abandoned residential and commercial buildings that contribute to blight, safety hazards, and neighborhood decline.

It focuses on concrete registration and maintenance requirements to address public safety and economic development concerns.
