submit a request to the Mississippi Development Authority for the 
release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake 
the following project:
Project Title: Wayne County ADA Improvements to the Former Justice 
Building 
Purpose: ADA Improvements to renovate the building
Location: 810 Chickasawhay Street, Waynesboro, MS 39367
Estimated Cost: $262,754.18
The activities proposed: are categorically excluded under HUD 
regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act 
(NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents 
the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the 
Wayne County Courthouse.
Address: 609 Azalea Drive, Waynesboro, MS 39367 where the record is 
available for review and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 5 
P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR 
to the Wayne County Board of Supervisors at 609 Azalea Drive, Waynesboro 
MS 39367.
All comments received by 1/22/2026 will be considered by the Wayne 
county Board of Supervisors prior to submission of a request for release 
of funds.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors certifies to Mississippi 
Development Authority that Keith Clay in his capacity as President of 
Board of Supervisors consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal 
Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation 
to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have 
been satisfied. The Mississippi Development Authority's approval of 
the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related 
laws and authorities and allows the Wayne County Board of Supervisors to 
use HUD program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
The Mississippi Development Authority will accept objections to its 
release of fund and the Wayne County Board of Supervisors certification 
for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date 
or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they 
are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not 
executed by the Certifying Officer of the Wayne County Board of 
Supervisors ; (b) the Wayne County Board of Supervisors has omitted a 
step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations 
at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the 
development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken 
activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release 
of funds by Mississippi Development Authority; or (d) another Federal 
agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written 
finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of 
environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in 
accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and 
shall be addressed to Attention: Shirley Thompson at Mississippi 
Development Authority, Community Services Division, Post Office Box 849, 
Jackson, Mississippi, 39205-0849. Potential objectors should contact the 
Mississippi Development Authority to verify the actual last day of the 
objection period.
Keith Clay, President Wayne County Board of Supervisors
NOTE: The seven or ten-day public comment periods are the minimum time 
periods required by regulation before the submission of an 
RROF/Certification Form. The RE may choose to allow a longer comment 
period. The fifteen-day objection period is a statutory requirement. The 
objection period follows the submission date specified in the Notice or 
the actual date of receipt by MDA, whichever is later. A copy of the 
Public Notice (NOI/RROF), an affidavit of publication, and the 
RROF/Certification Form may be emailed or faxed to MDA in order to start 
the 15-day HUD Objection Period, but the original signed documents must 
be received by MDA before environmental clearance will be issued.
