Wellspring Project - TOYOTA MISSISSIPPI / PUL ALLIANCE

The Community Development Foundation functioned as the marketing wing of a state-wide effort to recruit TOYOTA Motor Sales to the Wellspring Project site located in Blue Springs, Mississippi.  This TVA certified mega-site was chosen by TOYOTA in February of 2007 and construction began in April 2007. The Wellspring Project began in September of 2001 as the PUL Alliance (Pontotoc, Union, & Lee County) and was approved in 2003 under state legislation allowing collaboration between multi-governmental jurisdictions for major economic development purposes.  This was the State of Mississippi's first regional economic development alliance.
