Rule 6-1-10.1 - Purpose

The purpose of this program is to promote industrial and other significant development in the State of Mississippi ("State") through the construction and/or improvement of highways in areas, which demonstrate actual and immediate potential for the creation, or expansion of major industries or other significant development. The highway or highway segment to be constructed ("Highway Project") must be necessary to ensure adequate and appropriate access to a proposed company project for the purpose of encouraging its location within a political subdivision. The Economic Development Highway Act, Miss. Code Ann. Section 65-4-1, et seq., ("the Act"), authorizes the Mississippi Development Authority ("MDA") to assist political subdivisions with Highway Projects which encourage private companies to engage in high economic benefit projects within their area.
