Coming to the Triangle


The Golden Triangle region of east-central Mississippi has brought around $6 billion in capital investments in the last decade and created some 6,000 jobs to a state that ranks 50th in average income. The region has a household median income of about $37,000 per year. The American average is just over $50,000.
