Hattiesburg, Mississippi – On Monday, city officials released the winter/spring paving list for 2021, rounding out a paving investment of approximately $1.5 million of total paving dollars for each ward and 75 total city miles over the course of the last three and a half years.
“Addressing infrastructure in our city has been a top priority for both our administration and the City Council,” said Mayor Toby Barker. “Reaching 75 miles of paved road in three-plus years is a significant milestone.
