Program Objective

Program Objective. Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. §57-1-701, the Mississippi Site Development Grant Program assists public or private non-profit economic development organizations or local governments (Local Partners) in developing available greenfield sites for industrial development. The Select Sites Program was created within the Site Development Grant Program with the additional goal of increasing the number of highly competitive industrial sites in the state that are available and are ready to meet prospective companies’ needs. The availability of competitive sites that are ready for industrial development and meet the logistical, workforce and other needs of industry are critical to the state’s job creation and investment attraction efforts. Through the Site Development Grant Select Sites Program, the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) partners with eligible Local Partners to support the development of such sites and increase the state’s competitiveness for economic development projects.
