Economic Development Grant Proposal for Pontotoc Industrial Park

Pontotoc County, Mississippi

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has completed an environmental assessment (EA) for a proposed economic development grant through TVA InvestPrep funds to Pontotoc County to facilitate the development of a site within the Pontotoc Industrial Park (PIP). TVA funds would be used to assist with tree clearing and grubbing, geotechnical borings, grading and compacting of two building pads, construction of a 300,000 gallon elevated water tower, construction of a gravel access road to the water tower, and the extension of a 10-inch-diameter sewer line to the PIP from an existing 15-inch-diameter interceptor sewer line. The PIP is located on Magee Drive adjacent to Highway 345/North Main Street, approximately 1.3 miles north of the City of Pontotoc, MS in Pontotoc County.
