Mississippi recently awarded Golden Triangle Development LINK a $3.4M grant for site improvements at the NorthStar Industrial Park in Starkville. Though the park is mostly undeveloped, the grant will create a foundation that can hold a 100,000 square-foot building. Vice Mayor Roy A. Perkins predicts NorthStar will one day become a hot spot for businesses. LINK, based out of Columbus, has transformed the Golden Triangle region into its most successful economic development times. LINK has invested almost $6B into the region helped supply over 6,000 jobs. $680,000 of the grant comes from the state and about $2.7M comes from the Appalachian Regional Commission. NorthStar's site improvement proposal includes wetland and stream permitting and mitigation, clearing and grubbing the trees on the land, conducting earthwork at three sites inside the industrial park and building a site access road, LINK Chief Operating Officer Macaulay Whitaker said. Garan Manufacturing was the first business to move to NorthStar in 2020.
