During the 2018 First Extraordinary Session, House Bill 1 was passed creating the Mississippi Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2018. This act created a Special Fund to assist municipalities in paying cost associated with repair, maintenance and/or reconstruction of roads, streets and bridges and also with repair, maintenance and/or other improvements to water and sewer infrastructure. In order for a municipality to participate in the allocation of these funds they must complete the following two forms, which are also available on the MS Office of the State Auditor's website.
