DELTA COUNCIL
EST. 1935

Delta Council is an area economic development organization representing the 19 Delta and part-Delta counties of Northwest Mississippi. Started in 1935 by a group of far-sighted citizens, we provide a medium through which the agricultural, business, and professional leadership of the area can work together. Delta Council now pioneers the effort to solve common problems and promote the development of the economy in the Mississippi Delta.

DELTA STRONG is a regional branding, marketing, and business attraction program aimed exclusively toward attracting new manufacturing opportunities to the Mississippi Delta. The initiative is supported by private sector financial
institutions, our Planning and Development Districts, Port Terminals on the Mississippi River, local Economic Development Foundations, and our Utility and Infrastructure partners. This strategy, led by the Delta Council Development
Department, is a four-year plan which includes outcome measurements and transparency that positions the Mississippi Delta region as a major player in the attraction of manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing operations.
