Mississippi invites businesses to test, build, hire and grow
A Facebook post encourages businesses to “test, build, hire, and grow” in Mississippi, inviting companies to “break new ground” in the state, according to the social media message.
The brief post did not include detailed plans or specific programs, but the call echoes long-standing efforts by state and local economic development officials to attract investment, expand workforce training and promote sites for manufacturing and technology projects.
Mississippi has in recent years positioned itself as a place for companies seeking lower operating costs, transportation access and community support for workforce development. Business leaders and economic development groups often highlight those general strengths when recruiting firms and supporting expansions.
For companies considering relocation or expansion, typical next steps include reaching out to local chambers of commerce, regional development authorities or state economic development offices for information on sites, incentives and workforce programs. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
