Lowndes County; authorize to establish an Industrial Zone Emergency Response District.
This Mississippi bill authorizes the Lowndes County Board of Supervisors to create an Industrial Zone Emergency Response District to provide fire protection, emergency medical care, and other emergency services to industrial businesses in a specific area near the Golden Triangle Regional Airport. The district would be formed through a county resolution and a petition signed by industrial taxpayers representing at least 80% of the area's total participation factors, which are calculated based on property value and employee numbers. Once established, the district would have the power to levy special assessments on industrial property owners, issue bonds for funding, and enjoy tax exemptions on its property and revenue.
