The staff at the Golden Triangle Development LINK did an incredible job making our site selection and startup process seamless. Their team went above and beyond—working closely with local and state leaders, coordinating every detail, and ultimately making us feel confident in choosing the Golden Triangle for our first location over other competitive sites, including Texas.

Quality Beverage

Building a new beverage manufacturing facility can feel overwhelming, especially for a growing business like ours. We had the vision, but we needed the right partners to help make it a reality. That’s where the team at GTR LINK made all the difference. Their proactive, organized approach guided us through every step — from site selection and incentives to construction partnerships and even our groundbreaking event. They truly went above and beyond. We’re grateful to have such a talented, well-run organization supporting business growth across our community.

Rob Boman

The workforce in Mississippi is exceptional…The training that EMCC offers was so valuable to us, because they enabled our people to be trained in a variety of disciplines. This allowed for some of our people that had no aviation skills to be trained and hired as apprentices and grew our work force development program. People drive up to 75 miles to work for Airbus, demonstrating the work ethic and commitment of the men and women who live in Mississippi

This is a very business friendly area and the LINK is an excellent resource staffed with very passionate people that also know their business extremely well and they’re creative. They understand the need for speed and necessity to minimize upfront costs of building or expanding a business. As a result, GTR LINK has been very successful in bringing good manufacturing jobs to the Golden Triangle Region.
