SUMMARY: Starkville, Mississippi, is set to receive a $20 million RAISE Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to complete the revitalization of the Highway 182/MLK Corridor. This funding supports ongoing work initially funded by a 2019 BUILD Grant, aimed at relocating utilities and updating water and sewer lines.
