MISSISSIPPI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AWARDED EXPORTING GRANT

JACKSON, Miss. (PRESS RELEASE) – U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), recently awarded Mississippi Development Authority $556,810 to help Mississippi small businesses enter and compete in the global marketplace. The State Trade and Export Promotion (STEP) grant will be used to support export development and trade endeavors for eligible small businesses.

“I consider this an opportunity to spotlight the state of Mississippi, MDA and the SBA, highlighting our respective brands, bringing attention to the STEP Program as one great example of state and federal government here working in concert to make some good things happen for small businesses and entrepreneurs – and in this instance, in the great big wide world of exporting,” said Janita R.
