Welcome to Madison County, a thriving location that is at the center of "the crossroads of the South." But don't be fooled, Madison County is more than a place; more than a hometown. It's your “Official Home of Tomorrow.”

What do we mean by that?  It’s simple.  The growth of the Jackson metropolitan area and especially the communities of Madison County provide our citizens and newcomers migrating to the area with what is truly an unsurpassed quality of life.  New high-tech and new-age jobs are being created throughout the region and the quality of life is unsurpassed with high quality housing from townhomes and apartment living to million dollar gated communities meeting the needs of every facet of our population.  From quiet small town living, to the Jackson suburbs, to farms, to lake living on beautiful Ross Barnett Reservoir, if you can’t find a home or community that fits your lifestyle in Madison County, you probably aren’t going to find it anywhere else in the U.S.

Why are so many people and businesses moving to Madison County?  Simple.  It’s our quality of life that features one of the best schools systems in Mississippi and the entire South.  It’s our lakes, parks, and beautiful countryside that appeal to those looking for a more peaceful and tranquil place to live and recreate.  But it’s also our attitude.  It’s a way of treating newcomers like lifelong friends and working with our business and industry in a way that isn’t common in too many areas – as partners.  We just have a progressive, forward way of thinking that is tied to our history and tradition that are rooted in true Southern Hospitality.

The growth of our housing market has also spurred growth in the commercial/retail sector as well.  Madison County is home to some of the best shopping in the Jackson metro.  From high-end shopping, outstanding restaurants featuring local to international cuisine, to entertainment and cultural opportunities, Madison County and the Jackson Metro has it all.

Industrial, distribution, and corporate office growth has grown as well.  With the location of the new Nissan manufacturing facility in Canton earlier this decade, other companies have taken a look at the Jackson metro and Madison County and they like what they see.  We are one of the most vibrant and successful locations in the country for quality of workforce and support of our business and industry.

There’s really only one way to truly find out what we’re talking about – and that’s coming to Madison County to visit.  When you do, you’ll be greeted with a handshake and a smile and you will leave knowing that we genuinely want you to become part of our community as we become your “Official Home of Tomorrow.”
