Some local counties are getting a share of the $110 million in grants that Governor Reeves announced Wednesday for economic development, infrastructure, workforce development, tourism and conservation projects. Leake County is getting $250,000 to grade a site at the Leake County Business Park. Neshoba County will receive $312,000 for the construction of public restrooms at Burnside Park. And Holmes County will share in a couple of multi-county grants to develop a training program for people to work in the artificial intelligence field and for a job skills simulator to help former inmates find work when they’re released from prison.
