Quitman approves activation of $763,000 Main Street pedestrian improvement grant with 20% local match
Summary
The board approved activating a Mississippi Department of Transportation sidewalk and pedestrian-improvement grant for Main Street worth $763,000 and agreed the 20% local match would be covered from designated House Bill One funds.
The Quitman City Equipment Board voted March 3 to activate a Mississippi Department of Transportation award for Main Street pedestrian improvements and sidewalks, accepting the $763,000 grant and committing to a 20% local match sourced from House Bill One funds.
Staff reported the award amount to the board and described the activation resolution as the first step in the state grant process. The board approved the resolution unanimously and directed staff to move forward with project activation, design and subsequent steps required by MDOT.
No design or construction contracts were approved at this meeting; the action was limited to accepting the award and committing the local matching funds source. Staff said they will return to the board with project schedules, procurement steps and final design when available.
