Economic Development
The District was designated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA), as an economic development district in 1969. This designation enables
counties, municipalities, and growth centers which are active members of CMPDD to be eligible for EDA funds. Primarily, EDA programs benefit local governments by providing grant
assistance to construct necessary infrastructure improvements in industrial parks. Since 1969, CMPDD has successfully secured over $20 million in EDA funds to provide needed
infrastructure to 16 industrial parks in the region.
| The Air Cargo Facility at the Jackson-Evers International Airport was funded in part by an EDA grant of $1.3 million. |
The Public Works and Economic Development Program is used to help distressed communities improve physical infrastructure in order to attract new industry and encourage business
expansion.
The Economic Adjustment Program focuses on areas that have experienced or are under threat of damage to the area's economic base. This program predominantly supports three types
of grant activities: strategic planning, project implementation, and revolving loan funds.
The Local Technical Assistance Program is designed to assist in solving specific economic development problems and often supports feasibility studies on potential economic
development projects.
