The Delta Regional Authority announced a $8.6 million investment on Thursday to
fund flood control and infrastructure improvements across the Mississippi Delta.

> “Accessible roads, reliable water and sewer services, and secure flood
> protection are essential in order to maintain existing businesses, attract new
> industries, and keep a community healthy and thriving,” said Corey Wiggins,
> the federal co-chairman of the DRA.

The DRA spends federal appropriations across eight states, including
Mississippi, to help support transportation, infrastructure and other economic
needs in the region.

The $8.6 million will go towards 13 projects. The announcement also mentioned
another $1.8 million in matching funds.

The largest project investment is $3.2 million that will go towards economic
development in Clarksdale, specifically to improve a levee and roadway. That
project projects to create 56 jobs. A press release said this will attract an
additional $12 million capital investment.



In total, about $2.9 million will go towards wastewater and sewer projects in
Piney Woods, Charleston, Glendora, and Tunica County.

Earlier this year, the EPA listed Charleston as in “significant noncompliance”
with the Clean Water Act due to reporting issues, which followed pollutant
violations from the city’s wastewater system. The agency also notes recent
pollution violations from the wastewater systems at the Piney Woods School as
well as in Glendora.

Roughly $2.2 million will go to drinking water system improvements in Metcalfe,
Greenville, and Charleston. In 2020, the EPA listed Metcalf, which serves water
to about 1,000 people, as “enforcement priority” over drinking water violations,
ranging from monitoring issues to contaminants in the water.

And then another $2.2 million is set to go towards drainage and storm water
projects that will help Belzoni, Coldwater, Rolling Fork, Coahoma, and Tutwiler
deal with flooding. The largest of those projects is $516,896 going to Belzoni.

Rolling Fork is located in the South Delta, which regularly faces backwater
flooding. The city hosted a meeting in August to discuss the Yazoo Pumps, a
proposed flood control project.
