The Community Development Foundation (CDF) was organized in 1948 by community leaders who saw the need for a unified effort to coordinate the economic and community development activities of the region and has been characterized by many as an organization that is at the center of innovation, as well as the most significant creative force in rural American economic and community development. The CDF has been undertaking diverse actions in promoting the socio-economic development of the Tupelo-Lee County region, such as:
- marketing the region to business, industry and professional leaders;
- developing a ten year strategy plan, an annual program of work designed to enhance agricultural, business, educational, industrial, private/public partnership and support efforts such as skills and technology enhancement, improved transportation and health care;
- establishing and/or supporting agencies that meet the needs of the community;
- establishment, in collaboration with government of nine industrial parks located in the area.
