A Facebook post announced a press conference will be held Jan. 27, 2026, to unveil $1 million in 2025–2026 Community Project Funding for Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District.
The post said the funding is intended to support 10 sheriff’s departments and will directly benefit residents across the district. The event is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at Asbury United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall, 205 Raymond Bolton Road, Bolton, Mississippi.
Community Project Funding, often referred to as congressional earmarks, allows members of Congress to request federal dollars for specific local projects. Such funding commonly supports public safety, infrastructure, and community services; allocations to sheriff’s departments can include equipment, training or facility improvements, though the post did not specify how the $1 million will be divided or used.
The announcement could affect law enforcement capacity and public-safety planning in the district if the funds are distributed to the named agencies. Additional details about the sponsor of the funding request, the recipient agencies and a breakdown of intended uses were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
