Momentum 2030 is Rankin First’s five year strategic capital campaign focused on strengthening private investment and elevating economic development across Rankin County. Built on clear goals and measurable outcomes, this initiative outlines focused pillars that guide our work in business recruitment, support for existing industry, workforce development, and community competitiveness. By expanding private sector engagement and giving businesses a stronger voice in shaping our priorities, Momentum 2030 helps Rankin First move from reactive to proactive efforts, creating long term growth, a stronger economy, and a thriving future for our community.
Why is Momentum 2030 Needed?
Momentum 2030 is needed to expand the role of the private sector in shaping the future of Rankin County. Today, only four percent of Rankin First’s funding comes from private investment, which limits our ability to compete for industry, support existing businesses, and prepare for long term growth. The goal of Momentum 2030 is to increase private investment to fifteen percent, giving our business community a stronger voice, increasing our ability to plan ahead, and allowing Rankin First to move from simply responding to opportunities to actively creating them. With greater private involvement, we can strengthen our workforce, improve our competitiveness, and secure a stronger economic future for every company in Rankin County.
