Strategy, Action Plan, Goals & Objectives
STRATEGIC PROJECTS, PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES
The following pages of this document provide a, in no way exhaustive, list of potential projects. These projects are based on the overall goals and objectives set forth on previous pages. The list includes very specific projects of a regional nature as well as rather broad projects based on the desires of individual communities. Some of the activities listed are in the beginning stages of implementation while others are still in the very early planning and development stage. Regardless of their status or range of benefit, all of these projects are important in one way or another to the South Delta Planning and Development District and its citizens.
Funding for these projects could come from a number of sources. Federal, state and local funds could be used for the implementation of these projects. Private sector funding may also be necessary for the larger projects. Federal sources could include but, are not limited to, Delta Regional Authority, Economic Development Administration, USDA Rural Development, HUD, Federal Highway Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. State funds may come from the Mississippi Development Authority, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, MS Department of Health, MS Department of Environmental Quality and the MS Department of Transportation.
