About Us
EAPDD
was incorporated as a non-profit, regional planning and development agency
in 1967, serving a 12 county area of northeast Arkansas. With a land area
as large as the state of New Jersey, the District stretches from the Missouri
State line to the north, through the Memphis metropolitan area, to the
southern end of Crowleys Ridge at Helena. The essential nature of
this corner of Arkansas is predominantly defined by Mississippi River
Delta, which runs the length of the Districts eastern boundary.
The Districts purpose is to promote and support the economic development
of the region. It does this by providing technical assistance to the cities,
counties, businesses, and other development organizations in the area,
and by networking extensively with state and federal resource agencies.
EAPDD is actively engaged in:
- community development - grant and
loan grant application assistance, grants management services, provision
of U.S. Census data
- community planning - computer mapping
applications, land use planning, development of zoning and subdivision
regulations, and annexation studies
- waste management - recycling,
waste tire management, hauler licensing, and educational programs
- business development - business
development loans
