Harrison COunty is On the Rise!

Written By Harrison County Development Commission

During this year’s State of the County address, we celebrated record-breaking investments, job creation and community growth.

Supervisor Nathan Barrett, President of the Harrison County Board of Supervisors, did an excellent job of highlighting the progress our county has made. He expressed gratitude for our past achievements, acknowledged the opportunities currently available, and looked forward to future growth.

HCDC provided an update on the status of economic development initiatives, which led to the county ultimately funding HCDC after 20 years.

Those updates include:

  • $3.6 billion in new projects

  • Over $151.3 million in completed investments

  • 3,120 new jobs on the horizon, in addition to 732 jobs already created

  • More than $84 million in annual payroll for the county

  • Over $4.2 million in projected annual tax revenue

Thank you to the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce for putting on the event!
