Tippah County towns being awarded over a million dollars

Tippah county appears to be benefiting from the recent Rounds of funding aimed at infrastructure improvements, with $1.25 million in individual projects earmarked for local towns at a house appropriations meeting on Wednesday August 29th.

As part of the proposal, Ripley is scheduled to receive $500,000 for projects while Falkner, Walnut and Blue Mountain are also scheduled to receive money
