The Rankin County Board of Supervisors meeting on November 12, 2026 included several infrastructure and contract actions. The board approved AJ Construction pay request No. 3 for $120,260.21 for the Old Highway 49 overlay and authorized activation of the Foxhall Road bridge replacement through the MDOT LPA program. It approved a one-year extension of the county’s solid-waste contract with Waste Management, beginning in October 2027 and running through September 2028; this is the first of four extension options. The board also approved a $18,941.38 pay request from Big Construction for the Flowood tax office and approved a $51,159.99 payment for an item whose project or vendor was not identified in the transcript. A sheriff’s department biometrics license agreement was presented with no cost anticipated unless additional services are requested. The board also authorized its legal team to address AT&T’s alleged failure to meet contractual obligations, including discussions about potential remedies; an alternative fiber provider was mentioned but not named.

The board endorsed a resolution supporting continued advancement of the Rankin-Hinds Pearl River flood-control project. The flood-control district has secured a $221 million federal appropriation for design and eventual construction, but supervisors were told the resolution does not commit the county to funding. Supervisors discussed establishing haul routes and potential no-truck roads for large dirt-pit projects to limit damage to county roads; staff will review how to update the applicable ordinance, and no action was taken on the process. The board also approved conveying roughly three acres of county-owned property to the Town of Star for a prospective city hall, and discussed a lease for the volunteer fire department facility on the bond-funded property.
