NEARLY 50 YEARS OF SERVICE TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
History
to increase information and coordination
therefore eliminating duplication and waste.
The ten Planning and Development Districts in Mississippi were created to assist
local governments in the late 1960s in an
attempt to address problems and issues
on a multi–jurisdictional basis. In creating
these organizations, technical assistance
was provided by the then Office of Federal
State Programs under the administration of
Governor John Bell Williams, as well as other
business development organizations. There
also were federal matching grant incentives
to the Districts, as well as to the local governments, if they met and maintained certain
eligibility criteria, especially in the area of economic development. In 1971, in an effort to
standardize regional economic development
and planning boundaries, Governor Williams
issued Executive Order 81 designating the
Planning and Development Districts as Mississippi’s official sub-state regions. This order
also designated the Districts as the agencies
to help ensure that projects and programs
within the respective regions were developed according to a long range, continuous
planning process. While largely voluntary,
the Districts were given the responsibility
Organization
Each Planning and Development District
is an independent organization governed
by a Board of Directors appointed by local
leadership. The Governing Board of a District
is composed of members from each county
who are appointed by local officials. These
appointments are comprised of elected local
officials, business or industrial leaders, and
representatives of the minority community.
Most Districts operate through an active
committee system which may involve many
other persons, not necessarily members of
the Board of Directors. The Districts are
managed by an Executive Director who
is responsible to the Board of Directors,
and the Districts are staffed not only by
administrative and clerical personnel, but
also by specialists in such areas as planning,
geographic information systems, economic
development, community development,
grant writing, job training, social services,
transportation, data processing, and
gerontology.
Programs and Services
Since each District represents a distinctly
different region of the state, its activities,
projects, and programs are somewhat different. There are, however, many common
functions provided in a very similar manner
by each District.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
One of the principal functions of each Planning and Development District is economic
development. Each District is designated by
either the Economic Development Administration of the Department of Commerce or
the Appalachian Regional Commission as the
Auto Assembly Line
-2-
Water/Sewer System Project
federally recognized organization to perform
economic development, planning, and other
related functions. The USDA Rural Development Administration is another major source
of economic development assistance and
most recently, the Delta Regional Authority
was created using the same sub-state structure. Unlike some organizations which view
economic development in a limited or specific
manner, the Districts attempt to promote
long-term job creation in the broadest sense.
They also furnish information and assistance
to cities and counties to aid them in being
competitive and in building capacity so they
can assist with economic growth. The Planning and Development Districts were the
first organizations in Mississippi to integrate
geographic information systems into their
routine data management and mapping
procedures.
LOAN PROGRAMS
All Districts have an active Revolving Loan
Program. This program consists of grants,
made to the Districts through a variety of
federal agencies, to be loaned (usually in
conjunction with other public or private financing) to businesses and industries to help
in start ups or expansions. These loans are
made at very attractive rates and when they
are repaid, the funds are then loaned again
to other businesses for commercial and/or industrial development activities. The money,
therefore, stays in the area and continues to
be a very viable economic development tool.
Each District develops annually a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
which is essential in maintaining eligibility for
various federally funded programs. These
programs primarily aid local communities
with such public facilities as streets, water
and sewer systems, and other infrastructure
necessary to promote business and industrial
growth. The vast majority of industrial parks
in this state were developed with some form
of federal assistance provided through Planning and Development Districts. Maintaining eligibility for funding also provides an
opportunity to receive technical assistance
grants and various types of loans.
Another loan program available to the
Planning and Development Districts is the
Small Business Administration 504 Loan
Program. Each District, acting as a Certified
Development Company or acting through
another Certified Development Company, is
authorized to make loans (for a period of time
not to exceed 20 years) to small businesses
for land, buildings, and other fixed assets.
While they may vary from region to region,
there are numerous other economic development activities provided by the Districts.
For example, the Districts provide statistical
and economic information and analysis to
potential business and industrial ventures.
-3-
These loans also are designed to create jobs
and to stimulate business growth and are
made in conjunction with private lending
institutions which assume responsibility
for approximately half the amount loaned.
These loans have fixed and attractive rates,
and the District’s portion is guaranteed by the
Small Business Administration in the event
of default. Other loan programs available
through the State of Mississippi include the
Mississippi Minority Business Enterprise Loan
Program and the Mississippi Small Business
Assistance Loan Program. The former is
specifically for minority owned businesses,
including females, and the latter is for any
Mississippi owned small business.
political subdivisions. Also, computer mapping and geographic information systems are
provided in some areas. Certain Districts have
extensive involvement with technology communication systems, which further expand
computer networks. If a District does not
have the specific expertise on staff, it can link
its local community with the proper person in
state or federal government, or the District
might possibly work with another District in
a joint venture.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Community development is an additional
area in which most Districts are very involved.
The Community Development Block Grant
Program is funded through the Department
of Housing and Urban Development and
administered by the Mississippi Development Authority. This is a very competitive
program that funds various types of public
facilities, economic development, and housing activities. Most Districts provide technical
assistance to their cities and counties to help
them select projects, prepare applications,
and further document needs. Many Districts
also are active at varying levels in actually
administering projects and programs once
they are funded. Moreover, the Districts
sometimes assist communities with loans
and grants through the USDA Rural Development Administration, with the development
of parks through the Department of Interior
and with small grants to rural volunteer fire
departments.

PLANNING ASSISTANCE
In varying capacities, the Districts provide
communities with local and regional planning assistance. Maintenance of a regional
planning process is a federal requirement for
some programs, and the Districts maintain
this process to insure eligibility for their local
areas. Certain areas of the state are more
active in planning and growth management
than other areas, and the Districts normally
reflect the feelings of their communities
regarding District involvement in these activities. For example, in metropolitan areas
which receive large amounts of federal funding for transportation, a metropolitan planning process is required. In these areas, the
District administers this process and requires
that all state and federal construction dollars
are expended in accordance with the plans
developed by the District and approved by
the local governments representing the area.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
In addition to providing federal and state
financial aid for community development, the
Districts offer varying types of technical assistance to help governments provide better
management. Aid is available in such areas as
personnel administration, financial management, budgeting, capital improvements, and
codification of ordinances. Many Districts
have extensive computer capabilities which
they use to assist with the redistricting of
Another example of a District’s involvement in local planning is the preparation of
-4-
comprehensive plans for cities and counties.
Many Districts prepare and administer zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations
for their various communities. In addition,
they assist with street naming and property
numbering.
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Another area in which the Districts are
increasingly involved is human resource development. It is generally felt that improving
physical resources is of little value if it does
not benefit human development. One of
the major aspects of human resource development, which has significant economic
development implications, is job training.
Multi-county regions, as required as part of
the Workforce Investment Act, include the
Planning and Development Districts. The
Districts are active in assessing the needs
of their respective areas, developing annual
training plans, and assisting in funding activities to carry out these plans. This program is
funded through the Department of Labor and
administered through the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. The business
and industrial community provides significant
input into the local planning process.
other long-term community based activities.
One of the most important aspects is the use
of the federal Medicaid Waiver program for
long-term community based care, which allows patients to stay in their homes versus
entering a nursing home. Medicaid payments
are used to secure these services for the
home-bound patient while saving money and
providing a higher quality of life. Recognizing that it is not possible for all the elderly
to remain in their homes, all Districts have
ombudsman programs providing trained
professionals who call on patients in nursing homes.
Another major program in this area relates
to the elderly. Acting as the Area Agencies
on Aging, the Districts provide an annual
areawide plan which directs where federal
dollars for the elderly are to be spent for
the upcoming year. This plan is based upon
needs assessments, demographics, national
priorities, and input from the public. Once the
plan is adopted, it directs the comprehensive
aging activities in its service area for the next
year. Traditional activities funded under this
plan include congregate and home delivered
meals, information and referral services,
long-term care programs, and elder abuse
prevention services.
The Future
Activities of the Districts have changed
significantly over the past five decades and
these changes are expected to continue as
the Districts reflect the needs and issues of
their respective regions. The future of the
Planning and Development Districts appears
bright, because of their diversity and flexible
nature. The Districts use business practices in
providing regional, governmental functions.
This makes them very diverse organizations
responsible for programs ranging from
meals on wheels to major infrastructure
construction.
In recent years, major efforts have been
made to keep the elderly active in their
own homes. As a result, there are various
support programs available to assist with
this endeavor. These include homemaker
and care service programs, adult day care,
employment opportunities, transportation
programs and case management, as well as
