North-Central Miss. counties partner to form REPM

The North-Central Mississippi counties of Choctaw, Montgomery and Webster announced efforts Oct. 1 to join together to create a regional economic development partnership to attract businesses and jobs to their communities. The three counties’ Board of Supervisors all voted separately to join together to form “Regional Economic Partnership Mississippi” (REPM). In addition, REPMS will partner with Mississippi State University’s College of Business to leverage already-existing programs. Source: WTVA-TV Tupelo, Miss., Oct. 1, 2012.
