“Since locating in Clarksdale in 2000, MAP of Easton has benefited logistically from the Delta’s prime location. Coahoma County offers the company efficient access to customers east and west of the Mississippi River, paving the way for sustainable growth and new jobs for the people Clarksdale,” Governor Phil Bryant said.
The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance for building improvements. The city of Clarksdale and Coahoma County are assisting with the project, as well.
