OVER 40 YEARS OF SERVICE TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
Organization
The ten Planning and Development
Districts in Mississippi were created by
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. 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 attempt 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 provide project
notification and review under the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular
A-95, thus insuring that federally funded
projects were in accord with local plans and
did not produce duplication. The Planning
and Development Districts still play the
same basic role, but they are governed by
Federal Executive Order 12371 rather than
Budget Circular A-95.
Each Planning and Development District
is an independent organization governed
by a Board of Directors appointed by local
government officials. The Governing Board
of the District is composed of members
from each county who are appointed by the
respective county boards of supervisors,
elected county officials, business or industrial leaders, and representatives of the
minority community. Other members may
be mayors or other local elected officials.
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,
economic development, community
development, 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 federally recognized
organization to perform economic develop-
Auto Assembly Line
-2-
Water/Sewer System Project
ment, 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.
Each District develops annually a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
which not only is required by state law (see
the Statewide Economic Development and
Planning Act of 1987), but 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 loan programs.
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
-3-
ventures. They also furnish information and
assistance to cities and counties to aid them
in being competitive and in building capacity so that 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 reloaned 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.
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, building, and other fixed assets. 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.
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 Develoment Administration, with the
development of parks through the Department of Interior and with small grants to
rural volunteer fire departments.
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 political subdivisions. Also,
-4-
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.

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.
Another example of a District’s involvement in local planning is the preparation
of land use 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.
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 assessment, 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.
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,
-5-
employment opportunities, transportation
programs and case management, as well as
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.
The Future
Activities of the Districts have changed
significantly over the past four decades and
these changes are expected to continue
as Districts reflect the needs and issues of
their respective regions. The future of the
PDDs appears bright, for they possess both
flexibility and diversity. The Districts use
business practices in providing regional,
governmental functions. This makes them
very diverse organizations responsible for
programs ranging from adult literacy to
regional solid waste.
