Blueprint Mississippi

Blueprint Mississippi is MEC's long-range economic development plan for Mississippi. It began as an extensive one-year, $1.25 million research project focusing on 12 Blueprint States (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas).
