CF Industries has donated $30,000 to the city of Yazoo City to be used within the parks and recreation department and at Ricks Memorial Library.
During such hard economic times, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen expressed their gratitude to the local industry for its generosity.
Steve Moore, general manager of CF Industries, said the company was happy to give back to the community.
“This is a great community, and we are proud to be a part of it,” Moore said.
Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. and Dr. Jack Varner first approached CF Industries about what the city and local company could do in a partnership for some of the city’s most important needs. Looking towards the children within the Yazoo community, the parks and recreation department and Ricks Memorial Library were at the top of the list.

Walking down the halls of the Triangle Cultural Center, the laughter of children can almost be heard down its long corridors.
The smell of aging books lingers in the hallways.
And the sound of chalk tapping against a blackboard with a rip of paper from a notebook echoes from the individual rooms.
The cultural center may now serve as a hub of activity with a variety of community functions, ceremonies and other civic appointments.
But to many, it will always remain Main Street School.
“Good years, good times, good friends, we like to remember,” said Ethel North, as her recollection appeared in A Collection of Memories, compiled by JoAnne Prichard Morris and Sam Olden.
Main Street School first opened its doors to Yazoo students on Oct. 10, 1904. The former “Public School Number One,” located on the same lot, was destroyed by a fire in 1903.
