Economic and Workforce Development

Healthy communities and quality of life are vital to economic growth and the factors that will attract and retain workers on the Gulf Coast. Downtown development, supporting mixed-used development that includes housing, and matching our trained workforce to the Gulf Coast job market, are each key to building a vibrant, healthy, and prosperous region.

Below you'll find a growing collection of economic and workforce development resources relevant to a healthy and resilient Mississippi Gulf Coast. To suggest a resource be added please contact Heritage Trails Partnership.
