What is Twin Forks Rising CDC?

How We Came to Be.


 

Twin Forks Rising Community Development Corporation (“TFR CDC”) is the implementer of the long term vision of Councilwoman Deborah L. Delgado for Ward 2. After the completion of Phase I, II and III of Master Plan for redeveloping Twin Forks Rising (the “Master Plan”), it was adopted in October 2018 by the Council. The City of Hattiesburg showed its confidence in, and support for, the vision set forth in the Master Plan by providing the seed funding for the CDC.

Our Mission is to Rebuild Twin Forks Rising…

Our Approach…

The day to day activities of TFR CDC are to advance the goals set forth in the Master Plan. As we are embarking on our journey to revitalizing our low income, predominantly African American community, TFR CDC is taking a phased approach:
