Current Committees include:

Education- Education determines the future of any community.  ICDC’s education committee works to facilitate and enhance our public schools through public/private partnerships and innovative solutions.

 Healthcare- Medical care in rural America is increasingly becoming extinct.  That’s why in 1995 the ICDC worked with city and county officials to coordinate and eventually retain the services of The Gilmore Medical Group in an effort to ensure that proper medical care would be provided to the residents of our county.  Today we continue to promote advancement in the services offered to Itawambians including researching the mounting costs of healthcare insurance.

 Industrial Recruitment- This committee, along with support staff, works to market and recruit business and industry for Itawamba County.  The businesses which we locate provide jobs for our neighbors and tax revenues for our schools.

 Industrial Relations- This committee supports our county’s existing industry.  They seek to address and provide our manufacturers with a business climate that is conducive to running a successful business.

Small Business Development- The ICDC has designated staff members who work with our local business owners on issues of interest such as: retail promotions, business roundtable, marketing, tourism, and much more!  We are always seeking to improve our services for the businesses of Itawamba County!

 Social/Public Safety- Members of our community were addressing concerns, and the ICDC listened.  This committee works in the areas of social well-being and public safety including, but not limited to, issues such as teen pregnancy and litter.

ICDC welcomes your committee suggestions and your participation.  If you would like additional information, please contact the ICDC at 862-4571.
