Quitman board approves resolution requesting state funds for sports/tennis improvements

City of Quitman Board of Aldermen · December 16, 2025

Summary

The board approved a resolution (subject to attorney edits) asking the Mississippi Legislature for funding for a sports/tennis improvement project; the mayor said the town will request up to $1 million for phase one and the board voted to adopt the resolution pending attorney review.

The mayor presented a draft resolution asking the Mississippi Legislature to appropriate funds for a proposed sports/tennis improvement project. He described precedent where similar complexes received legislative funding over multiple years and said, "I want to request a million dollars," while acknowledging the final appropriation will depend on legislative action.

Board members voted to approve the resolution and the mayor said staff and the attorney would finalize wording before submission. The resolution signals the town's intent to pursue state support for the project and to use any appropriation toward an initial phase of tennis courts and related amenities.
