Rankin County, MS Board of Supervisors meeting on date: (9-8-2026 1 of 1)

The Rankin County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 8, 2026, which included a public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget. The board discussed the school district's budget request, which required an increase in millage but was below the 7% threshold that would allow the board discretion to deny it. The county government portion of the millage remained flat with no increase. The board also reviewed and approved road work reports and discussed permits for AT&T to install fiber optic cables, including aerial installations on existing poles. Significant procurement actions included awarding a contract to Ford Ice for $616,596.50 for a bridge project (LSBP 618) and approving a $1,124,479.84 payment related to a reimbursable CMPD project. The board approved several motions related to budget adoption, publication, and capital improvement projects, including justice center HVAC improvements costing $287,496. The meeting concluded with setting public hearings for September 15 and scheduling the next meeting date.
