WASHINGTON, DC (WTVA) – The North Central Mississippi Planning and Development District is getting federal funds to develop a business incubator.
The Economic Development Administration will provide a $1.1 million grant to develop a business incubator and job development center in Attala County.
The funds are part of the $1.6 million needed to renovate a county-owned industrial building to serve as the Kosciusko-Attala County Technology, Training and Jobs Center.
The business incubator is expected to focus on green technology businesses and the renovation itself will also incorporate energy efficiencies.
The NCPDD, headquartered in Winona, Miss., covers Attala, Carroll, Grenada, Holmes, Leflore, Montgomery and Yalobusha counties.
The grant was announced by Senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker.
