Howard Technology Park has become a catalyst for economic development in the Gulf States region. Re-energizing the industrial park concept, this 504-acre site is bringing together technology-based industries with research development and training, while partnering with traditional heavier industry at the adjoining Tech Park South.
The Howard Technology Park is the result of a strong partnership of various entities representing industry, government, and education. Each of them envisions not only enhanced benefits within their own spheres of influence, but a greater growth foundation for companies and firms that will reside in the park.
Southern Business and Development Magazine has proclaimed Howard Technology Park “a super site” for economic development, “especially suited for companies creating technology products or processes.” With its development, the stage is now being set for an unprecedented period of economic growth in Mississippi.
Mississippi Power Company and McCallum-Sweeney Consultants have designated Howard Technology Park as a Project Ready Site, thus citing it as fully enabled to house new companies.
