“The Mississippi Main Street Association serves the heart of our small business community in Mississippi which, in turn, is the heart of our local communities throughout the state,” said Trey Lamar, Ways and Means Chairman of the Mississippi House of Representatives. “I am honored to represent their interests at the Capitol and am pleased with the results we obtained this year. Thanks to everyone who worked hard toward these achievements.”

“This year’s legislative success belongs to everyone in the Main Street family, and we look forward to working with all of our communities to implement these projects in Mississippi’s historic downtowns and districts,” said Thomas Gregory, MMSA Executive Director. “This funding will support visible improvements in our downtowns and will further revitalize the heart of Mississippi’s communities.”
