Delta Regional Authority

The DRA was established in 2000 to promote economic development in the Lower Mississippi River and Alabama Black Belt regions.

Delta Regional Authority (DRA) is releasing $4 million to support workforce development in the Delta region, including the Black Belt. 

According to an announcement from DRA, award amounts will range between $50,000 to $300,000 from the Delta Workforce Grant Program (DWP).

“Through the Delta Workforce Grant Program, DRA is helping our communities meet critical workforce demands and address job shortages across the region,” said Dr. Corey Wiggins, Federal Co-Chairman. “By expanding pathways to in-demand careers, we are creating opportunities for residents to gain the skills and education they need to secure quality jobs, remain in their communities and thrive.”

The deadline to apply is May 15 and may be done at this link.
