Tax Exemption:

The KADC has a number of financial incentives and tools readily available to qualifying companies. These include tax exemptions of the ad valorem taxes, excluding school taxes, for a period of up to seven or ten years depending on the type of business and the investment levels. All of these exemptions are subject to approval of the specific governing body which sets forth the procedural requirements for the granting of such tax exemptions. The KADC is available to assist any new or expanding business to determine the qualifications and the term of eligibility of the exemption.

Technical Resources and Training:

The KADC can put you in contact with a variety of resources for customized training, workforce and employment and business development, including: The continuing education division of Holmes Community College, offering classes and training suited to individual business needs, especially customized training seminars, continuing education and emergency or safety education.   Mississippi State Entrepreneurial Center's education programs span the entire lifecycle of the entrepreneurial process from start up to growth and succession planning.  The Jackson State Small Business Development Center at Jackson State University provides confidential counseling and training to business owners and people interested in starting a business.  The Mississippi Partnership Workforce Investment Board is a major resource for employment, training, job service and rehabilitation services.

Additional resources include Buildings and Sites:

A prime economic development incentive is the availability of existing commercial and industrial buildings and sites. Indeed, new businesses and developers find a variety of available land, buildings, and industrial sites.  In addition, these buildings and sites are generally available at competitive lease and purchase rates, especially when compared to nearby urban areas such as Jackson Mississippi and Memphis Tennessee. Many of the existing buildings offer incentives including free start-up lease payments for the first month(s).  For detailed profiles of what's available, please see the Property section of this Web site.

The KADC's mission to  "... generate high quality jobs and tax base by promoting and facilitating the growth of existing business in key sectors and the development of business," requires that we are engaged in all aspects of the communities growth. Please allow the KADC to assist with your business location to Kosciusko-Attala County.
