Mississippi Development Authority was invited to help the community map out Quitman County resources. They recommended we take “baby steps” to help address the dire need of the County. The staff made several recommendations.i.e. to create a County tour brochure and to start an annual festival based on the Mule Train history. We later applied for tourism grants, and they were funded through MDA. They have been very helpful and a good resource when it comes to tourism. The MDA staff felt like attempting to get the Amtrak stop should be number 1 on our list. This meeting took place in April 2013
