Many industries have chosen the
Meridian area as home because of the strategic location for
transportation purposes and excellent local labor force. Major
categories of manufacturing are wood, metal fabrication and electronic
equipment. The city of Meridian is home for approximately 47,000
people.
The town provides a full
complement of municipal services including fire and police protection,
rescue team, and water & waste treatment facilities. Throughout
East Central Mississippi and West
Alabama employment opportunities are
available in each community.
Just 15
miles northeast of downtown Meridian
lies Naval Air Station Meridian
jet training facility.
The main base of NAS Meridian occupies more
than 8,000 acres, with an additional 4,000 acres at Joe Williams Field
and the target facility SEARAY.
Our area has become a magnet for the
outdoor minded. White tail deer, ducks, and other game birds |
|
and wildlife abound in the area. There
are many large lakes, rivers, and beautiful streams offering
great fishing for largemouth bass, crappie or even the
famous Mississippi catfish.
