The Mississippi Development Authority has officially designated Starkville as a Certified Hometown Retirement City. With this designation, Starkville becomes one of only 12 communities within our state to hold this certification.
The Mississippi Hometown Retirement certification allows Starkville to promote and market the city’s assets to retirees across the country whom are looking to relocate. The program will be administered by the Starkville Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The Starkville Convention and Visitors Bureau is a branch of the Greater Starkville Development Partnership. The Partnership is also comprised of the Starkville Area Chamber of Commerce, Oktibbeha County Economic Development Authority, and the Starkville Main Street Association.
The Dispatch Editorial Board is made up of publisher Peter Imes, columnist Slim Smith, managing editor Zack Plair and senior newsroom staff.
