      Files on grants supporting the creation and dissemination of marketing materials, as well as market research and analysis, by Mississippi cities and counties.

Memos describe funding recommendations for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications. Miscellaneous correspondence is between CDBG personnel and individuals seeking clarification on grant application rules, explanations for application rejections, and Mississippi state and national representatives, including senators Trent Lott and Thad Cochran, making inquiries on behalf of constituents.
