Chamber Executive Mississippi Digest
February, 2018

 Here is news you can use as a Mississippi chamber professional:

Ocean Springs has a new selling point. It’s spelled L-O-V-E.

The city has revived a logo and given it new purpose — loving Ocean Springs.
The design was created to celebrate the city’s big win in 2013 — the rare Great American Main Street Award.
“ILoveOS is a symbol celebrating Ocean Springs from its historic downtown streets to its unique aspects of uptown and all around town,” said Cynthia Sutton, executive director of the city’s Chamber of Commerce Main Street Tourism Bureau.
Great American Main Street is a very coveted award, Sutton said, given out by the National Main Street Center to only three communities nationwide each year.
Ocean Springs is the only community in Mississippi to win it.
They have decided to bring back the symbol as part of the chamber’s marketing and branding.
“If you look closely, it has the words Great American Main Street winner on it with our company logo inside the heart,” she said.
The chamber has created buttons, stickers and other fun pieces with the big red heart to give visitors as souvenirs for stopping in Ocean Springs and spending some time.
“We will continue to grow this symbol celebrating Ocean Springs in the months to follow,” Sutton said. “Thank you for noticing our catchy fun tag!!” Read more: Sun Herald

2018 Priorities: EMBDC plans to grow, improve its 4 components
In 2018 the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation (EMBDC) will grow and improve the four separate but interrelated components of our focus areas: 1) Chamber of Commerce. 2) Meridian Main Street. 3) East Mississippi Business Development Foundation, and 4) Economic Development (The Alliance For Growth).
Chamber of Commerce
The “lifeblood” of our organization are the 540 member-businesses of EMBDC. We’ll continue our emphasis on growing our membership and increasing “value” to our existing members.
In an unprecedented move for our organization we now have three full-time staff members and one part-time staff member designated to working directly with our members. We’ll be reaching out to every member in a much more tangible way … we’re adding Business-Before-Hours / Business-After-Hours opportunities … adding a Bridal Show (February) … adding a “Palate-to-Palette” dinner event featuring Robert St. John and Wyatt Waters (March) … surpassing our Home & Garden Show (April) … and adding an “Outdoor Extravaganza” (September).
Meridian Main Street
We’ve just announced our new Main Street Director, Debby Delshad … with Debby in place, we’ll be focused on our first full year of activities. Our efforts will be in conjunction with the city, the county, the Convention Visitors Bureau, along with Mississippi Main Street. We’ll be bringing Main Street businesses together to discuss common issues, areas of interest and also bringing attention to those businesses with successes.
We’ll be creating opportunities to facilitate Façade Grants … downtown clean-ups … and beautification projects. We’ll also be … 1) introducing our “Entrepreneur Winner’s Circle” where start-ups and small businesses are highlighted … 2) marketing school promotions for main street merchants … and 3) continuing to grow “shop local” programs. And, we’ll be partnering with MSU-Meridian presenting education and “how to” seminars.
East Mississippi Business Development Foundation
One of our “best kept secrets” is our foundation. It was created 10-years ago for the purpose of education, leadership and economic development. We’re going to be working with the EMBDF Board to market our foundation across our community with the intent of increasing our funds significantly to improve the reach of our education, leadership and economic development initiatives.
The Alliance For Growth
A regional “business leaders” group in place to support economic development region-wide. Two of our main goals in 2018 include: 1) completing and implementing a regional economic development plan, and 2) fully funding our economic development efforts which will allow us to be proactive in our pursuit of assisting existing industries in their expansions and also in luring new industries into our region.

Southaven Chamber Event: Henley helps solve tax questions


Mark Henley took some time away from a career helping deliver goods and products to determine his next course in life. When he was ready to jump back into a career, Henley discovered the next turn in his professional life’s journey would be help deliver to people answers to their “taxing” questions.
Today, Henley oversees the area offices of H&R Block out of the tax preparation service’s location of 975 Goodman Road East, in the Southaven Commons center.
“My area runs down to Clarksdale, Batesville, Water Valley, Oxford, Holly Springs and Byhalia,” Henley said. “I have all of the nine counties of North Mississippi, along with Collierville, a few offices in Memphis and then Crittenden County, Ark.”
Henley’s move into the tax preparation world came after he stepped away from another career to spend time with his son.
“I spent many years with FedEx, but I took a year off to reassess and determine what would be right for me,” said Henley. “I was a single father with a teenage son who had a rare heart condition and required some heart surgery that made me stop and reevaluate everything. Not knowing what the long term was going to be, I took a year off, he and I did some traveling together and we decided to relocate back to the Memphis area, where we were from originally.”
Henley’s move into H&R Block has been a good one for him, with Henley adding he is especially impressed with the people he works with.
“I’ve never worked with this many people who are genuinely worried, concerned and who care for their customers,” Henley said. “They have relationships with them that go back 10-15-20 years and they care. They genuinely care about the well being of their clients and I love being around that.” Read more: DeSoto Times

Madison the City Chamber of Commerce Names St. Catherine's Village Large Business of the Year


In January, Madison the City Chamber of Commerce named St. Catherine’s Village the city’s Large Business of the Year for 2017.

Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler presented the award to Mary Margaret Judy, executive director; Felichia Fields, assistant executive director; and Scott Kersh, chief financial officer at St. Catherine's Village. The continuing care retirement community (CCRC) offers unparalleled facilities, beautiful outdoor spaces, a thoughtful staff, resident-centered care, and a mission-focused environment.

St. Catherine's Village truly embodies what Madison has achieved as a certified retirement community, said Mary Margaret Judy. We are honored that the chamber appreciates the value we bring to the city.

“St. Catherine's Village truly embodies what Madison has achieved as a certified retirement community,” said Mary Margaret Judy, Executive Director at St. Catherine's Village

To qualify as a certified retirement city, Madison passed a three-month intensive screening process conducted by Hometown Mississippi Retirement, the state's official retiree attraction program. The city was evaluated on several criteria important to retirees: cost of living, tax rate, low crime, quality medical care, & recreation, educational and cultural opportunities, and most importantly, a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Madison, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2017, also has been awarded the seal of approval by the American Association of Retirement Communities and is nationally ranked as one of the best retirement locations in the country. Both the chamber of commerce and the city actively promote Madison as a retirement haven. Read more: The Daily Telescope


Chamber delight: Mississippi less taxing for retirees


Mississippi has been named the No. 4 most-friendly tax state for retirees by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance in the recently released 2017 Retire Tax Map which looks at the most and least tax-friendly states for retirees across all 50 states.
Sandra Block, senior editor, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, said one reason Mississippi scores so high for being tax friendly for retirees is because the state exempts all qualified retirement income from state taxes.
“For that reason, it compares favorably with states that have no income tax (unless seniors have earned income from a part-time job, which would be taxable),” Block said.
On the local level, property taxes are more favorable in Mississippi than many states. Block said property taxes are below average for the U.S.—the median property tax on the state’s median home value is the 14th lowest in the U.S.
Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Glenn McCullough, Jr. was not surprised at Mississippi’s high ranking for being tax friendly to retirees.
“Mississippi offers our residents an abundance of affordable, unique and authentic lifestyle offerings,” McCullough said. “Mississippi honors and recognizes the professional and civic contributions of retirees. The state’s generous exclusion of taxable Social Security benefits, retirement income such as pensions, IRAs and 401ks is attractive to retirees seeking to relocate. Mississippi’s high ranking for being tax-friendly to retirees serves as another competitive advantage found in the Magnolia State.”
MDA offers resources to communities in Mississippi which aspire to align themselves with other areas around the country as a retirement destination. MDA sponsors the Hometown Mississippi Retirement program which is designed to retain and attract retirees in the state. McCullough said the program is nearing 25 years of dedicated service in supporting MDA’s mission to strengthen communities.
McCullough said Mississippi’s tax structure serves as a catalyst to bolster services offered by the state. Retirees depend on adequate health care, available housing and retail services—these and many other industries are positively affected by retiree spending.
“Having a reasonable tax structure in place has substantial outcomes in terms of economic fluidness: the financial steadiness of retirees is often uncompromised and non- dependent on local economic factors,” McCullough said. “According to published reports, retirees spend up to 80 percent of their income locally. Data from the Federal Reserve shows retiree households (55+) have the largest net worth nearing $200,000.
McCullough said retirees relocating to Mississippi find their dollars go further in our state than anywhere else in the country. A report from The Tax Foundation states the value of $100 in Mississippi is 15 percent higher than the national average.
Retirees are a valuable asset to a community.
“The purchasing power of retirees in a tax-friendly climate like Mississippi allows for greater opportunities in entrepreneurship, where retirees may consider starting their own business, or acquiring assets such as homes or property,” McCullough said. “Mississippians are known for their charity, and there are a number of volunteer organizations which welcome the assistance of retirees. Many retirees move to the state equipped with professional background and experiences they share with up-and-coming professionals or a craft they have mastered. Leadership and mentorship platforms often benefit retirees as a way to connect with the community.”
Valencia Williamson, executive vice president of the Area Development Partnership (ADP) in Hattiesburg, which is one of the cities involved in the Hometown Retirement City program, agrees the value of retirees to the local area goes beyond economics.
“Retirees get involved,” she said. “At the ADP, we have a plethora of volunteers who’re retired. Retirees want to stay in tune with what’s happening around them; being a member of an organization such as the Chamber of Commerce or the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) keeps them connected, and engaged.”
In Greater Hattiesburg, retirees (55+) make up 24 percent of the population. Williamson said in addition to this being an economic driver because these individuals are likely to bring expendable income into the community, they use fewer services than they pay through taxes.
Williamson said affordable living is one of the most important factors when choosing a retirement destination.
“With a vast array of affordable housing and low property taxes, coupled with tax exemptions on retirement income and superb quality of life, Mississippi is the premier retirement destination in the South,” Williamson said.
Williamson said Certified Retirement Cities focus not just on helping their own city, but also work diligently to promote the region on a national level, with help from local volunteers and organizations who recognize the importance of attracting retirees to live and play in their community.

Chamber issue: We can benefit from new interstate


With talk of a new interstate being a possibility for Mississippi, area residents can anticipate a boost to the local economy. Just not in the next few years.
Originally proposed in 2005 to extend from Natchez eastward to Georgia or South Carolina, the Gulf Coast Strategic Highway — also known as Interstate 14 — has begun in west Texas. In 2015, Texas received a congressional designation for the interstate mostly consisting of U.S. 190, which cuts through the center of state. This April, the first section of I-14 was officially unveiled: a 25-mile stretch of U.S. 190.
Garrick Combs, executive director of the Brookhaven-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce and the Lincoln County Economic Development Foundation, said he is “pretty confident an interstate will be built” if the U.S. Congress designates the route.
If the route becomes a reality, it will likely convert part of Hwy. 84 into interstate highway. That means Brookhaven and Lincoln County would have an additional interstate.
Texas is the only state that has designated roads for this project, so Louisiana and Mississippi need to get on board next. A congressional briefing is anticipated to take place the week of Jan. 22, during which delegates from Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas will meet to garner support for the interstate.
Sen. Sally Doty, R-Brookhaven, who serves on the state Highways and Transportation committee, believes another interstate in the area will definitely be a positive thing.
“Having another interstate gives the potential for more commercial, industrial and distribution center growth in Lincoln County,” said Doty. “I believe we would see the same type of businesses that are along I-55 replicated on and east/west route. Many national chains will only locate at an interstate exit and additional exits would provide a boost to the Lincoln County economy.”
Although getting the I-14 designation is the first step, the process looks to be a long one. Combs said it took 12 years from the time Hwy. 78 was designated as I-22 for the passage to be completed for motorists. That’s plenty of time to recruit new businesses to the area.
“It’s going to dramatically increase traffic counts throughout the area, spur commercial and retail development around Hwy. 51 and 84,” he said. “It should increase our favorability to companies who need to move lots of goods.”
More commercial and retail development means more business for construction crews and more employment opportunities for locals. It also means more opportunities for shopping, lodging and dining out.
We certainly hope that the “Future 14” project will come to fruition and serve as a step in the right direction for the people and businesses of Lincoln County. Daily Leader
