NRDP-TVA Partnerships
Here are some of the successful partnerships that State Councils have had with the Tennesee
Valley Authority. For more information, please contact

Office of Community Development.
In many small Mississippi communities, high leadership turnover results in duplication or abandonment of existing strategies. Moreover, plans often are not tracked to study progress and past successes are seldom publicized. To address these concerns, the Mississippi State Rural Development Council is working with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, the Mississippi Planning and Development District, USDA-Rural Development, and the Tennessee Valley Authority to implement the Community Development Project. This program will better encourage strategic planning work in rural communities, track progress, and promote continuity.
