Research notes

Mississippi municipalities have broad TIF authority for blight, slum, deteriorating area, or economic-development redevelopment. Frequently paired with §57-75 Major Economic Impact Authority projects (Toyota Blue Springs, Nissan Canton, Continental Tire Clinton, Steel Dynamics Lowndes) and §57-13 industrial development bonds. School districts may opt out of TIF capture under §21-45-9 amendments. State and county approval not required for purely municipal TIF, distinguishing MS from neighboring TN §7-53 dual-approval regime.
