What Is This Program?

The Lower Mississippi Delta Initiative (LMDI) was established in 1994 under Public Law 103-433 to assist with implementation of the Delta Initiatives Report, which included recommendations on natural resource protection, historic preservation, and the enhancement of educational and other opportunities for Delta residents. In its first 26 years, the initiative has actively worked to bring archeology, history, natural resources, cultural resources, heritage, and tourism projects to the region, local communities, and local organizations.
