Grenada, MS gets investment grade BDO Zone ‘A’ Rating for Woody Biomass

In Mississippi, Greater Grenada Partnership and Ecostrat announced the issue of an investment grade BDO Zone ‘A’ Rating for Woody Biomass, extending a 75-mile drive distance from Duck Hill, MS.

Grenada’s BDO Zone ‘A’ rating denotes high prospective viability of feedstock supply chain and infrastructure, and low expectations of default risk in the Zone. The region features strong capabilities to accommodate new biobased plant operations, supported by a legacy of private forest ownership and forest operations that contribute to the local bioeconomy. Two prime greenfield sites ideal for biobased development are located within the Grenada County, Business and Development Park North, which was recently awarded $4.3 million for development. These sites offer all utilities, access to rail, road, and air transportation, as well as ample land for expansion and storage.
