The mission of the EZ is to develop and utilize grassroots community involvement in community development-from planning to allocation of funds.

To ensure grassroots involvement, an organizational structure was developed and implemented early in the process. A twelve-member Board of Directors governs Jackson County EZ Community, and there is a subcommittee and project group structure that relies on public participation.

• Economic Opportunity Subcommittee
• Tourism Subcommittee
• Infrastructure Subcommittee
• Quality of Life Subcommittee
• Housing Project
