TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) -- The Tupelo-based CREATE Foundation is expanding their service area to include Lowndes County.

CREATE will also have opportunities for that county to participate in education support activities.
CREATE is offering a challenge grant to the Lowndes County's economic development organization called the LINK.
The grant is $100,000.
This announcement was held Thursday morning at the Columbus Country Club building.
