DeSoto County delivers a strategic location, robust talent pipeline, and pro-business environment. Established in 1887, the county was formed around the railway system. Fast forward to now, the railroad infrastructure still remains a solid form of distribution throughout DeSoto and neighboring counties, as well as airports, state roads, interstate access, and major ports just miles away.
Here, leaders in the public and private sectors are fully invested in the county’s future while remembering its beginnings. By fostering economic growth and developing programs to support our growing business sectors, we strengthen the county and create a strong foundation for companies to thrive.
Whether it’s talent, infrastructure or real estate offerings, we are committed to enabling prosperity through our time and financial investment.
The DeSoto County Economic Development Department enhances the county’s business climate. Working with public and private partners, we promote and support existing businesses and encourage new business development that create quality jobs.
