Location and multimodal logistics for global and domestic access:

Stone County’s South Mississippi location puts industry just 20 miles north of I-10 and 29 miles south of I-59, with the services of more than two dozen motor freight carriers. The area is also served by Kansas City Southern Railroad, and offers convenient access to 6 general aviation and commercial airports and 5 deepwater ports providing strategic entrée to global markets.

Dynamic synergies: Stone County’s thriving industry presents multiple cluster opportunities, as does the County’s location in the Mississippi Gulf Coast region, where competitive advantages and assets include:

  • One of only 10 NASA field stations in the nation. In addition to testing rocketry, the John C. Stennis Space Center hosts the U.S. Navy’s cadre of oceanographers, the largest concentration in the U.S.

  • One of the few locations where un-manned aerial systems may currently be flown.

  • One of only four U.S. locations with an Army National Guard aviation classification depot, and a commercial airport that hosts an Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center.

  • Home to one of the world’s fastest supercomputers, operated by the Naval Oceanographic Office.

Stone County also offers the assets and advantages of the broader multi-state I-10 Aerospace Corridor with proximity to key aerospace and steel suppliers, including Airbus and Thyssen Krupp.
