Main Street Revitalization Grants; revise FY25 appropriation bills for MDA and MDAH so that MDAH will make grants to certain designated communities.
HB 625 shifts the administration of Mississippi's Main Street Revitalization Grants from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH). It repeals a prior law directing MDA to distribute these funds and instead requires MDAH to manage the grant distribution to designated Main Street communities for eligible projects. The bill adjusts fiscal year 2025 appropriations by reducing MDA's allocation for this program while increasing MDAH's funding. This change ensures MDAH, not MDA, will handle the grant process for qualifying communities seeking revitalization projects.
