Comments from the FY 2007 Chairman

“In spite of the loss of one furniture plant and layoffs at another, 2007 was a year of job growth for Tishomingo County. Some of the highlights include new companies such as Roll Form Group, Max Home, and ERSHIGS. Expansions occurred at Waterway, Inc./Tiffin
Motorhomes, FerrouSouth, New River Homes, Pickwick Pines Resort & Marina, Dynasteel, and others. We are working on a significant
number of new and expanded projects that will bear fruit in years to come. Our progress is due to partnerships, teamwork, persistence, and patience. We ask that our partners continue to work together to improve the economy of Tishomingo County and the lives of the citizens of Tishomingo County.”

Ken Cooley, Chairman, FY 2007

Comments from the FY 2008 Chairman

“I intend to continue working with our economic development partners to create new jobs for Tishomingo County. We expect to benefit from both Toyota and Alabama National Rail Car in coming years, but we must prepare our workers for the new kinds of manufacturing jobs. The old types of manufacturing jobs are leaving and the new types of jobs require more training and education. We ask that every citizen of Tishomingo County get involved. You cannot know what is happening in Tishomingo County unless you are involved. Join us as we prepare for the new global economy.”

Bob Carter, Chairman, FY 2008
