RESOURCE ASSISTANCE:
TOBDC has created a Biomass Conservation Exploratory that will lead the efforts of engaging community partners in life sustainability projects through Agricultural and Rural development collaborations. Our focus of collaboration will be the development of rural Hinds County, Mississippi communities, including Bolton, Byram, Edwards, Raymond, Terry and Utica. This project is designed to enhance the state’s long-term capability in biomass production to provide the greatest economic benefits, educational facilities and programs through a network of natural resource producers.
