Considering Giving To The Alliance's Land Fund Drive

- The Alliance's Land Fund Drive is well underway.  Drive Team Captains and Members are making contact with prospects now. The Alliance uses this fund for the purchase or improvement of land that is marketed to companies and site selection consultants looking to create jobs in Corinth and Alcorn County. 

Competition for new jobs is fierce in our region, and our industrial property is limited.   The Land Fund helps The Alliance level the playing field by allowing us to buy property and develop it for economic development projects. We encourage you to consider giving to this important fund.

For more information on the Land Fund Drive, please contact Gary Chandler at (662) 287-5269 or

What it is:  Entrepreneur.com is probably the premiere site when it comes to entrepreneur articles and advice.  Covering everything from starting a business to finance to sales and management, you will definitely find anything you need on this site. 

Why you should read it:  The site can be overwhelming since there is so much info but the great thing is you can subscribe to a specific topic or blog through your RSS reader.  They also have a community section where you can connect and talk with other entrepreneurs.

Volunteer - With the 2010-2011 school year in the books, the Community Development Council would like to thank each person and business that volunteered in our schools.  We are learning that education is the key to future success for our children, and our community.  Thank you for strengthening our community with your spirit of volunteerism.
