Your Return On Investment

We began this journey together with a shared vision and a $100,000 community-funded Downtown Master Plan. Today, Downtown Natchez is the beneficiary of a $24.57 MILLION federal grant to rebuild transportation-related infrastructure throughout downtown. The Forks to Freedom Corridor will positively and permanently transform our downtown. That’s a 150% annualized return on investment in six years time.  

That’s a ROI we can ALL be proud of!
