# Performance & Accountability Report

## Staying Accountable

The Delta Regional Authority is committed to accountability as we provide an effective mechanism for federal investment in the Delta region. We continually strive to improve our performance and cut waste so that our job creation and health investments have the maximum impact on the Delta. The DRA submits its processes and investments for external audit each year and is proud to have received 13 consecutive unmodified audits by an independent accounting firm.

The DRA was established in 2000 as a formal framework for joint Federal-State collaboration to promote and encourage the economic development of the lower Mississippi River and Alabama Black Belt regions. To fulfill this purpose, DRA invests in projects supporting transportation infrastructure, basic public infrastructure, workforce training, and business development. DRA works to create jobs, build communities, and improve the lives of those that reside in the region. DRA’s region encompasses 252 counties and parishes in parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.

DRA’s enabling legislation dictates that at least 75% of DRA’s funds must be invested in economically distressed counties and parishes and isolated areas within non-distressed counties and parishes. In addition, half of DRA’s funds must support transportation infrastructure and basic public infrastructure.
