Abstract:The Lower Mississippi Delta Development Commission, chaired by then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, made recommendations related to developing human capital, natural and physical resources, private enterprise and the environment. As the Commission well understood, improvements to the Delta region, while important in their own right, could not reach their full potential without linking the Delta to the greater national and global economy. Furthermore, better national and global linkage could itself be a factor in realizing all the other recommendations of the Commission. The update of the Commission's report was undertaken with that perspective. The most important of all findings of the update is that the improved transportation, the crux of national and global connections, has meant more jobs and more opportunity.
