Description
The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) provides grants to public and private railroads for projects that promote economic growth and job creation in Mississippi. The program focuses on specific repairs or improvements to a rail line, rather than general rail activities.
A proposed project must identify the work it would undertake and show how those repairs or improvements would make the line more competitive in serving Mississippi industry. By connecting rail infrastructure work to the needs of businesses in the state, the program aims to strengthen rail service while supporting economic growth and employment.
