Rule 6-4-1.2 - Selection Priorities The mission of the Mississippi Development Authority is "To foster a strong state economy and vibrant communities through innovation, use of talent and resources to improve our citizens' lives."
A. The selection process will provide priority consideration to those applications that directly relate to the agency mission of fostering a strong economy and vibrant communities. MDA will prioritize applications that promote private sector permanent non-construction job creation and/or retention and promote private sector capital investment. B. Community projects that have a jurisdiction-wide benefit will be prioritized over projects that simply serve a confined portion of the community. Miss. Code Ann. § 57-1-18 (Rev. 2008)
