Central MS RC&D provides assistance to the following counties: Attala, Claiborne, Hinds, Leake, Madison, Neshoba, Rankin, Scott, Simpson, Warren, Winston, and Yazoo.

Projects and activities meet goals and objectives identified by a Council made up of representatives from each of the 12 counties. Funds and technical assistance are solicited from local, state and federal agencies as well as organizations, foundations and corporations.
