When it comes to places to launch a new business, Jackson, Mississippi ranks #21 nationally and #11 among midsized cities according to CNN’s Money magazine. Even in hard times, Jackson is on the rebound. Population loss during the 1980s eroded the city’s tax base and left an economic and cultural hole in the city’s center. Now downtown Jackson is undergoing a tremendous revitalization, including a shiny new 330,000-foot convention center. Young professionals who appreciate a laid-back Southern lifestyle are bringing new life to the city’s reliable economic engine.
