The project will be executed in three phases, each designated to ensure that the stated construction goals are achieved systematically, thereby enhancing the drainage capability of Concord Avenue and its surrounding areas.

Summary

House Bill 552 is a legislative measure aimed at making an appropriation of $2,263,275 to the City of Natchez, Mississippi.
