MEMA awarded $2.5M to prepare for natural disasters
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has received nearly $2.5 million in federal funds from FEMA to help prepare for future natural disasters after the March 24 tornadoes caused widespread damage in the state. Congressman Bennie Thompson announced the award, which is intended to help with protective measures against severe storms and tornadoes. This comes as a response to an incident that resulted in over 20 fatalities and extensive property damage. Funds will be provided to eligible recipients on a reimbursable basis after a review process and proper documentation.

SUMMARY: College basketball in Mississippi returns, providing fans of Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss a break from a challenging football season. Mississippi State, under coach Chris Jans, aims to improve on last season’s 21-14 record, featuring a strong returning core and several transfer additions. Ole Miss, in year two of Chris Beard’s tenure, also looks to bounce back from a 20-12 season with a mix of veteran players and new transfers. Southern Miss seeks redemption after a disappointing season, relying on veteran guards and transfers to enhance their lineup. Both teams kick off their seasons Monday night.

SUMMARY: As Election Day approaches, voters are preparing and deciding on proposed tax referendums. In George County, residents can vote on a new sales tax to fund the “Pennies for Parks” program, aimed at enhancing youth sports facilities. This initiative includes a one-cent sales tax on restaurants and a three percent tax on hotels, with plans already in place for new soccer fields. Meanwhile, Ridgeland voters will consider a sales tax increase to expand Freedom Ridge Park, adding various recreational facilities. Both referendums highlight local investment in community sports and recreational development.
