Economic Development Advisory Committee · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a potential new development project planned for the area near the intersection of US Highway 51 and Craft Road in DeSoto County. The proposal involves the construction of a new commercial center. The project is currently under review by the Economic Development Advisory Committee. If approved, this development would likely involve site clearing and grading, followed by underground utility work, paving for roads and parking areas, and the construction of commercial buildings. This early stage presents an opportunity for local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the project early. Reaching out now, before final site plans, bids, and permits are issued, could provide a competitive advantage for businesses interested in securing work on this project.
