Featured Site: NorthStar Industrial Park

330 acres. On-site infrastructure. A major research university in your backyard.

NorthStar Industrial Park in Starkville gives companies more than room to grow. The publicly owned site offers 330 acres with electric, water, sewer and natural gas on site.

Mississippi State University connects the region to graduates, workforce development and research capabilities spanning aerospace engineering, industrial engineering, advanced vehicular systems, cybersecurity, unmanned systems and sustainable technologies. That ecosystem gives companies opportunities to connect innovation with the workforce needed to put it into action.

Starkville strengthens the recruiting story. The community combines the energy of an SEC college town with a cost of living below the national average. Employees can enjoy a walkable Cotton District, local dining, arts and athletics, plus hiking, kayaking and wildlife recreation at nearby Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge.

For companies thinking beyond the next facility to the workforce and innovation pipeline behind it, NorthStar deserves a closer look.

It was an exciting day across the Golden Triangle!

The GTR LINK team had the opportunity to celebrate two significant milestones shaping our region’s future.

We joined ND Defense in West Point as they unveiled the helicopter bridge crane manufactured right here in Mississippi for the future USS Sam Nunn (DDG 133). President & CEO Meryl Fisackerly was honored to speak during the ceremony, recognizing the company’s continued investment in American manufacturing and national defense.

We also celebrated the Golden Triangle Regional Airport Terminal Expansion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Meryl also had the honor of speaking at the event before joining state and local leaders for the official ribbon cutting, marking another important investment in the infrastructure that keeps our region connected and competitive.

Congratulations to ND Defense, the Golden Triangle Regional Airport, and everyone who helped make these events possible. We’re proud to celebrate the investments and partnerships that continue to move the Golden Triangle forward.
