"At this afternoon’s press conference(Friday, May 29), the Governor announced that MDA has set up a website which will soon be collecting Back To Business Mississippi grant applications. While the application portion is not yet online, this site will serve as the web portal once we begin receiving applications. MDA is working around the clock to build a web-based application that is secure, efficient, and easy to use. We will bring it online ASAP."

On the webpage, all users will have the opportunity to enter their email address so that they can receive updates from MDA once we are ready to receive applications.

Holmes Community College has identified several areas at each location where students can park and work on their assignments in their vehicle if they have limited access at their homes.

Wifi will be available to students in the following areas of our campuses: Goodman Campus, along Montague Street; Ridgeland Campus, parking lot in front of Adcock Library; Grenada Campus, parking lot on Avent Drive near the Phillips Building; and the Attala Center, in the big parking lot.

Hours available will be 8 a.m.-7 p.m.

Students need to be aware that signal strength is determined by the numbers of users so the strength may fluctuate as more people take advantage of the service.

In the photos, Sgt. Lee Harmon and Sgt. Willie Roby help place signs along Montague Street signifying where students should work on their classes. Signs were also placed outside Adcock Library in Ridgeland and will placed at the Grenada Center today.
