Copiah County has emerged as the mid-south’s new industrial star – a sleeping giant just awakening. Long known for our agricultural products like vegetables, timber and poultry, Copiah is now advancing in manufacturing, distribution, cutting-edge sustainable energy development, and much more.

Many industries have discovered the Copiah Advantage – our strategic location, a variety of transportation and access modes, economic incentives, a business-friendly government – all have encouraged industries to locate, grow and thrive here.

But, there’s something more, something very special about Copiah County… It’s our Spirit.

The Copiah Spirit is our belief, our philosophy, perspective, our way of life. It’s reflected in our attitudes and actions that say “We’re in this together, and together is how we succeed”. You’ll see that spirit in our citizens, our towns and our governments – friendly, cooperative, and always looking for a way to make things work that benefits everyone.

Attitude is everything, and we’d love to share ours with you. Give us a call, come visit, and see what we have to offer you and your business. If you’re out to win, Copiah County will win with you.

Economic

Development

The Copiah County Economic Development District (CCEDD) exists by order and resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Copiah County, Mississippi. The objective of the CCEDD is to promote the civic, economic, and social welfare of the people of Copiah County.To accomplish this objective, emphasis is placed on providing good jobs for county residents. From start-up to the largest expansion, local and state authorities work together to provide opportunities to new and expanding industry.

 

One of Copiah’s great successes has been The Copiah County Industrial Park at Gallman, in the northern part of our county. CCIP currently has over 450 acres fully developed for use with electricity, gas, water, sewer, broadband and fiber optics in place – plus, another 220+ acres set aside for future development.

Transportation assets to The Gallman Park feature direct connection to major railroads, and it is adjacent to both Interstate and major State highways.

Retail

Opportunities

Copiah County is driven by several thriving communities that offer an easy quality-of-life, and bustling retail centers with both historical charm and progressive opportunities. Our deep cultural history has given rise to many businesses that express our heritage, so “homestyle” businesses thrive in Crystal Springs, Hazlehurst, Wesson, and our other smaller communities as well.

How exciting! Where else can you drive to work in 10 minutes from… a beautiful, traditional home in a settled neighborhood full of flowers and trees – a modern construction with all the latest amenities – a new, planned community with shops and dining within walking distance – or your own place in the country with acreage, privacy, and even hunting and fishing.

The Copiah Advantage

Advantages? We’ve got a lot…

There’s our great location, outstanding commercial facilities, thriving communities and a wholesome, healthy way of life.

But THE big advantage in Copiah is our Spirit. We learned decades ago that we all had the same goals; prosperous, safe communities, good schools for our children, and long-term economic development that would benefit us all.

Copiah County has moved into a new future, where we unite in our government, schools, sports, businesses, churches and streets. We work hard. We show respect for all. We play with enthusiasm and worship with genuine faith.

We’re proud of Copiah County, and we love to share what we’ve built. Come visit, see our community, and share a bright future with us. You’re welcome here, and we look forward to having you join us.
