Yazoo County, Mississippi
Yazoo County is located in the central part of the State of
Mississippi and comprises the largest land mass of any
county in the State, encompassing 934 square miles, with
a total population of 28,149. Within the county are the four
municipalities of Yazoo City, Bentonia, Eden and Satartia.
The county is rural in nature with Yazoo City being the
County Seat and the hub of economic activity for the area.
Yazoo County has long been known as the Gateway to the
Delta but is quickly becoming known as the Gateway to the
Capital City. Yazoo County is only 45 minutes from the
State Capital - Jackson, Mississippi. And although Yazoo
County is not part of the Jackson Metropolitan Area, its
boundaries are contiguous with Madison and Hinds
County, both of which are in the metropolitan area.
Yazoo County is a very attractive area for industrial
expansion and location. Transportation is a definite
strength for Yazoo. Yazoo County is ideally situated near
a large metropolitan area. An Interstate Highway passes
through part of the county and a four-lane US Highway is
easily accessible to most of the county. Yazoo City is home
to the Yazoo County Port which is one of the top five (5)
ports in the state for tonnage shipped. We also have a fine
general aviation airport that is envied by other
communities our size. Yazoo’s Industrial Parks have land
available with all infrastructures in place.
Yazoo County has many incentives to offer industrial and
retail businesses. All of Yazoo County is located in a HUD
Renewal Community District. With few exceptions all
firms that are located within the district are entitled to a
$1,500 per employee federal tax credit. Another important
feature of this program offers benefits that allow
accelerated Section 179 deductions.
Other benefit
includes a Commercial Revitalization Deduction and a
Capital Gains Exclusion.
All of Yazoo County is eligible for state incentives through
the Mississippi GAP Program. The GAP program exempts
new industrial businesses locating here from state taxes
(income, franchise and sales/use taxes) for ten years. The
sales/use tax exemption covers the purchases of component building materials and equipment for the initial
construction of the facilities or expansions of facilities.
Local property taxes are also exempted for ten years.
Depending on the number of jobs created, grants and
below-market rate loans are also available through the
Industrial Foundation and the Yazoo County Port
Commission. All local incentives are considered on a case
by case situation.
In considering quality of life areas, Yazoo City recently
received the Mississippi Development Authority Model
City designation. All state programs will be made available
to this community to effect positive improvements
in leadership, quality of life, curb appeal and Business and
workforce education. We also have many and varied
recreational facilities along with a large number of clubs,
organizations and churches.
Hunting and fishing
opportunities are also abundant.
With a great quality of life and federal, state, and local
incentives available along with available land and a strong
transportation base, Yazoo is indeed a very attractive site
for new and expanding businesses.
With a great quality of life, the
offering of federal, state, and local
incentives, along with available
land and a strong transportation
base, Yazoo is indeed...
The Place for You.
