As CSLC-Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters’ (HIPPY) student LeBauerio Bridgeford
recited the Pledge of Allegiance and as JSU student LaTannica Friar sang “Heal the Land,” one could feel
the sense of hope and a new beginning, while looking out over the horizon of 15 acres of freshly turned soil.
The day was April 29, 2013, and the event was the groundbreaking for a new housing development for
distressed families in theLexington, Miss. area. Among those applauding the effort was featured speaker
Rep. Bennie Thompson, (D-US 2nd District). Thompson described the project as “much-needed and well-
deserved for the citizens of Holmes County.” The event drew attendees from across the state, including the
Mississippi Coast.
The development is part of a CSLC project called EDGE (Empowering the Delta with a Growing Economy)
funded through the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Rural Innovation Fund (RIF) Comprehensive
Grant ($1.9 million).
