The Delta Regional Authority awarded a $234,028 Project Grant to the Town of Tunica, Mississippi on March 1, 2022 for activities concluding on March 1, 2024. The grant falls under the Delta Area Economic Development program (CFDA 90.201), which focuses on developing transportation infrastructure and job training/business development opportunities to strengthen local economies in severely distressed areas lacking adequate public services and industrial facilities. Funds will support the Town of Tunica in obtaining employment-related education and entrepreneurship programs needed to build its local economy, as well as equip industrial parks and facilities lacking financial resources. The grant directly furthers the Delta Regional Authority's mission to create self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life through partnership with communities in the Delta region.
