Jeff Rent, Interim President & CEO of the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the club’s March 10, 2020 meeting. The Chamber’s area of focus is Hinds, Madison, Rankin and Warren Counties. The objective of the Partnership is to make Central Mississippi the premier location for business and industry.
Rent emphasized the higher education and workforce training opportunities available to new and existing companies in the greater Jackson region. He also highlighted the transportation and logistical advantages with the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers Airport, the intersection of two major Interstate highways, two Class I rail lines and navigable waterways. Available medical centers plus the quality of life and entertainment options available here also are important in the Chamber Partnership’s efforts to recruit and retain new talent to our area.
We thank Rent for his presentation and his work on behalf of the Metro Area. He (center) is shown below with Club Vice President Lee Carney, and club director Larry Anderson who introduced him.
