SUMMARY: The county has initiated a loan application process via the Mississippi Development Authority to finance the development of promising land for future business opportunities. If approved, the loan could be up to $9 million at a 4% interest rate, although the final amount may vary based on needs. Importantly, this funding will not affect taxes or millage rates. The loan will be split between Meridian and Lauderdale County and will be repaid using tax revenue generated from businesses that establish operations on the developed land.
