Mid Delta Empowerment Zone Alliance Possible Dreams

First there is a dream, a vision of what could be. It starts in the imagination and it grows in the heart. But if it is to become reality, the dream needs to be fed and nurtured. This is the duty and the privilege of the Mid Delta Empowerment Zone Alliance (MDEZA).

Begun by an act of Congress as part of the Community Empowerment Program in 1994, we at MDEZA take our mission seriously. By providing opportunity where once there was only doubt, MDEZA makes civic and economic development a vital part of the communities it serves.

Whether we’re improving a town’s water supply or building new housing for disadvantaged families, we make it our mission to touch lives where it matters most. And this mission will never tire while there are lives to change and people who trust us to do it.

In the decade or more since its charter was established, MDEZA has extended its reach to a record number of Delta counties and towns. We do it because we believe in the Delta and its people. And wherever we go, we are determined to rewrite the stories of this region and to turn big dreams into possible dreams.

TESTIMONIALS:

“With help from MDEZA we have purchased a police car and police equipment, such as an NCIC computer and a radio system. We’ve also bought a new fire truck and fire equipment. We’re in the process of rebuilding our water system to get rid of that famous brown Delta water. One of our next steps will be to begin economic development. MDEZA will be a key player on that as well. They help in so many ways.”
