The new office and conference center for the Central Mississippi Planning & Development District provides a centralized location for their 7-member counties serviced by CMPDD. The 20,032 SF building is the main data center for the member counties with GIS, Planning & Development, Aging, and Demographics. The building includes executive offices, an open office layout, and a large conference room. The conference venue provides a divisible conference room with an adjacent kitchen.
