so that funding opportunities will be more effective and economic development services will expand to the under-served residents of Lower Mississippi Delta Region.

DCCI will focus on helping local financial institutions improve their capacity to raise capital, and to lend and invest in local communities.

Strengthening local community development lenders and investors will also widen the channels through which larger private institutions and federal agencies can reach small business owners and entrepreneurs who need their support.
