Mississippi Code Title 21. Municipalities § 21-41-7

At said meeting provided for by Section 21-41-5, or at a time and place to which same may be adjourned, any person aggrieved may appear in person, by attorney or by petition, and may object to or protest against said improvement or any part thereof. The governing authorities shall consider the objections and protests, if any, and may confirm, amend, modify or rescind the resolution of necessity, and shall determine whether said improvement shall be made and how the cost thereof shall be paid. The determination of such governing authorities shall be final and conclusive. However, if a majority of property owners owning more than fifty per cent of the front footage of the property involved and actually residing on property owned by them and included within that part of any street, avenue, or the like, ordered to be specially improved, or otherwise actually occupying property owned by them and included within that area shall file a protest, then the improvement shall not be made.
