SUMMARY: Hattisburg is seeing improvements with multiple paving projects, including a repaving of Lincoln Road, which began last year. Residents have noticed the changes, and Mayor Toby Barker stresses ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure in every neighborhood. Future projects include increasing visibility on Highway 11 and adding lights for the first time, as well as enhancing connectivity in West, South, and East Hattisburg through systematic road improvements. Broadway Drive, which connects to Highway 11, was repaved last year, and lighting construction is set to start soon. These efforts aim to connect various parts of the city more effectively.

Folks driving down Lincoln Road now have visible lines and clear turning lanes now that paving is completed.

SUMMARY: Despite the heat, local buckaroos are competing in the Pon Talk County 4-H Livestock Show. To keep everyone cool, extra fans, water faucets, and ice have been added. Livestock Show Chairman T. Stal mentions that the high temperatures have reduced participant numbers, alongside two other concurrent shows. Nonetheless, 4-H members remain undeterred as they work hard all year for this event. Stal emphasizes the program's importance, highlighting its role in helping kids develop as well-rounded individuals who learn respect, responsibility, and business skills. The event also features a Dominoes tournament, a cornhole tournament, and an 8 PM rodeo.
