Existing Industry
Civic and government leaders in Philadelphia and Neshoba County are very interested in recruiting new industry to our community. We feel we have a positive business climate. Our existing industry base displays our past successes of recruiting and retaining industry. The CDP owns and manages an industrial park. Our sites are ready to build on. We also have property at our local airport. Our positive relationship with a wide range of economic development allies ensures that business prospects are provided with competitive advantage in locating here.

Testimonials for Existing Industry
“I want to thank David Vowell and the staff of the Community Development Partnership for helping us in our move to Philadelphia. David and his staff have helped us at every corner - getting us information that made it all come together. We could not have done it without him. I would be remiss in not thanking Mayor Waddell, also. Great job all of you. Thanks!”

“Because of the economic benefits and corporate resources available in larger cities, it is typical for companies similar to The Yates Companies, Inc. to operate out of places like Jackson, Atlanta, Dallas or Houston. However, Philadelphia has always been home for me and my family, and we recognize the support that the people of Philadelphia and Neshoba County have given us over the last 40 years. There have been challenges along the way, but the communication between Yates and the local governments has always been open, and we have been able to encourage each other to strengthen and grow. That support, along with the growing, vibrant local economy and good educational opportunities have fostered in us a strong sense of commitment to the community of which we have been a part of our entire lives.”
-William G. Yates, Chairman, Co-founder, The Yates Companies, Inc.
“The CDP and the Mayor helped us get assistance from the East Central Planning and Development District. They worked together to make our expansion plans possible.”
